a practice on surd manipulation ![Biglaugh :biglaugh: :biglaugh:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
![](https://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\bg_white \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}\frac{\sin^{-1}x}{2+\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{1-x}}dx=\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{6}+\frac{\left(-2+11\sqrt{2}+2\sqrt{3}-3\sqrt{6}\right)\pi}{12}+\ln\left(20-12\sqrt{2}+10\sqrt{3}-8\sqrt{6}\right)-\frac{\pi^{2}}{9})
To get this thread going again I thought I'd give one of these a go.
what was your thought process behind that u-sub?To get this thread going again I thought I'd give one of these a go.
Letting:
We can eliminate any odd function terms in the expansion of the numerator (note that the denominator is even) as we are integrating over, so they go to 0. We end up with:
Both integrals are pretty straight forward to evaluate now, yielding a final answer of.
