4 Integrals Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions
5 Integrals Involving Inverse Trigonometric FunctionsThe derivatives of the six inverse trigonometric functions fall into three pairs. In each pair, the derivative of one function is the negative of the other. For example, and
6 Integrals Involving Inverse Trigonometric FunctionsWhen listing the antiderivative that corresponds to each of the inverse trigonometric functions, you need to use only one member from each pair. It is conventional to use arcsin x as the antiderivative of rather than –arccos x.

9 Completing the Square
10 Completing the Square Completing the square helps when quadratic functions are involved in the integrand. For example, the quadratic x2 + bx + c can be written as the difference of two squares by adding and subtracting (b/2)2.
11 Example 4 – Completing the SquareSolution: You can write the denominator as the sum of two squares, as follows. x2 – 4x + 7 = (x2 – 4x + 4) – 4 + 7 = (x – 2)2 + 3 = u2 + a2
12 Example 4 – Solution cont’d Now, in this completed square form, let u = x – 2 and a =
