Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think i took the right first step for substitution:
u=arccos(x);
cos(u)=x;
(du)(-sin(u))=dx
Substituting u into the equation:
((e^u)(-sin(u))(du))/(sqrt(1-(cos(u))^2))
This is where I'm stuck.
I tried all of the following second substitutions, but they either took me in circles or didn't replace all the u variables, or took me back to square one:
v=cos(u)
v=e^u
v=1-(cos(u))^2
I am doing this for a Calculus project using the Maple 11 program. It seems to be able to integrate the problem just fine, but I can't figure it out.
