Question
Evaluate: $\int_0^{1 / \sqrt{2}} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{\left(1-x^2\right)^{3 / 2}} d x$

Answer

Let $\sin ^{-1} x=\theta$ or, $x=\sin \theta$. Then, $d x=d(\sin \theta)=\cos \theta d \theta$
Now, $ x=0$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta=0$
$\Rightarrow \theta=0$ and $x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \sin \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $$\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\therefore I=\int_0^{1 / \sqrt{2}} \frac{\sin ^{-1} x}{\left(1-x^2\right)^{3 / 2}} d x$
$\Rightarrow I=\int_0^{\pi / 4} \frac{\theta}{\cos ^3 \theta} \cos \theta d \theta=\int_0^{\pi / 4} \theta \sec ^2 \theta d \theta$
Now using integratio by parts.
$\Rightarrow I=\left[\theta \tan \theta\right]_0^{\pi / 4}+[\log \cos \theta]_0^{\pi / 4}=\frac{\pi}{4}+\left\{\log \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)-\log 1\right\}=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{1}{2} \log 2$
