∫ dx/√(ax²+bx+c) and √(a²−x²) forms (∫ dx/√(a²−x²) = arcsin(x/a)+C; general quadratic → complete square +)

jee-mainjee-advanced

∫ dx/√(a²−x²) = arcsin(x/a)+C; general quadratic → complete square + trig/hyper sub.

What each symbol means

SymbolWhat it stands for
aPositive constant for standard arcsin form

When to use this

Substitute x = a sin θ for √(a²−x²).
