?(dx/?36-x^2)

My solution:
x=6sin?
dx= 6cos?d?
Therefore,
=?(6cos?d?/6cos?)
=?d?

What to do next???

My solution:

? = sin[sup:jz7wrb9v]-1[/sup:jz7wrb9v](x/6)

dx= 6cos?d?
Therefore,
=?(6cos?d?/6cos?)
=?d? = ? + C = sin[sup:jz7wrb9v]-1[/sup:jz7wrb9v](x/6) + C

\(\displaystyle \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt(36-x^{2})}. \ Let \ x \ = \ 6sin(\theta), \ then \ dx \ = \ 6cos(\theta)d\theta.\)

\(\displaystyle Ergo, \ 6\int \frac{cos(\theta)d\theta}{\sqrt(36-36sin^{2}(\theta))}\)

\(\displaystyle = \ \int\frac{cos(\theta)d\theta}{\sqrt cos^{2}(\theta)} \ = \ \int d\theta \ = \ \theta+C\)

\(\displaystyle Now, \ x \ = \ 6sin(\theta), \ sin(\theta) \ = \ \frac{x}{6}, \ hence \ \theta \ = \ arcsin(x/6)\)

\(\displaystyle Therefore, \ \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt(36-x^{2})} \ = \ arcsin(x/6)+C.\)
