how would i solve integral x*arcsin(2x) ?

Is there an easier way to do this then integration by parts? I keep trying and i'm not getting the right answer.
 
It's tricky, but 'parts' is probably the best way.

Try:

\(\displaystyle \L\\u=sin^{-1}(2x); \;\ dv=xdx; \;\ v=\frac{x^{2}}{2}; \;\ du=\frac{2}{\sqrt{1-4x^{2}}}\)


\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{1}{2}x^{2}sin^{-1}(2x)-\int\frac{x^{2}}{\sqrt{1-4x^{2}}}dx\)

There are different aproaches, but you could let:

\(\displaystyle \L\\x=\frac{sin(u)}{2} \;\ and \;\ dx=\frac{cos(u)}{2}du\)

Which will whittle you down to:

\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{1}{8}\int{sin^{2}(u)}du=\frac{u-sin(u)cos(u)}{16}\)

Resub:

\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{sin^{-1}(2x)-2x\sqrt{1-4x^{2}}}{16}\)

Don't forget the other portion:

\(\displaystyle \L\\\frac{1}{2}x^{2}sin^{-1}(2x)-\left(\frac{sin^{-1}(2x)-2x\sqrt{1-4x^{2}}}{16}\right)\)

=\(\displaystyle \H\\\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{1}{16}\right]sin^{-1}(2x)+\frac{x\sqrt{1-4x^{2}}}{8}\)
