The denominator's differential is exactly $d(\sin^{-1}x)$ , so this integrand is simply " $u\,du$ " in disguise.

Step 1. Substitute. Let $u=\sin^{-1}x$ , so $du=\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ .

Step 2. Rewrite. $\displaystyle\int\sin^{-1}x\cdot\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=\int u\,du$ .

Step 3. Integrate. $\dfrac{u^2}2+c$ .

Step 4. Re-substitute. $\dfrac{(\sin^{-1}x)^2}2+c$ . …

$\displaystyle\int (2x + 5)^7 \, dx$
›Reveal solutionSolution

$\int (2x+5)^7\,dx = \dfrac{(2x+5)^8}{2 \cdot 8} = \dfrac{(2x+5)^8}{16} + C$ .

Step 1 — Use the standard form for a linear substitution
$\int (ax+b)^n\, dx = \frac{(ax+b)^{n+1}}{a(n+1)} + C$
Step 2 — Identify the constants
$a = 2, \quad b = 5, \quad n = 7$
Step 3 — Substitute
$\int (2x+5)^7\, dx = \frac{(2x+5)^{8}}{2 \times 8} = \frac{(2x+5)^8}{16} + C$
Why the other options are wrong: (B) divides only by 7 (raises to the wrong power AND drops the $\frac{1}{a}$ ); (C) and (D) wrongly expand $(2x+5)$ as $(2x^2+5x)$ , which is not the inner function. …

$\int \dfrac{1}{x(x^5 + 1)} \, dx$
›Reveal solutionSolution

Substitute u = x⁵ then use partial fractions: the integral = (1/5)·ln(x⁵/(x⁵+1)) + c.

Step 1 — Prepare for substitution

Multiply top and bottom by $x^4$ :
$\int \dfrac{1}{x(x^5+1)}\,dx = \int \dfrac{x^4}{x^5(x^5+1)}\,dx$
Step 2 — Substitute u = x⁵

With $u = x^5$ , $du = 5x^4\,dx$ , i.e. $x^4\,dx = \dfrac{du}{5}$ :
$= \dfrac{1}{5}\int \dfrac{du}{u(u+1)}$
Step 3 — Partial fractions and integrate
$\dfrac{1}{u(u+1)} = \dfrac{1}{u} - \dfrac{1}{u+1}$ $\dfrac{1}{5}\int\!\left(\dfrac{1}{u} - \dfrac{1}{u+1}\right)du = \dfrac{1}{5}\big[\ln u - \ln(u+1)\big] + c = \dfrac{1}{5}\ln\!\left(\dfrac{x^5}{x^5+1}\right) + c$
Why the other options are wrong: (A) omits the 1/5 factor; (C) uses 1/3 (wrong power); (D) inverts the ratio to (x⁵+1)/x⁵. Only (B) has both the 1/5 and the correct x⁵/(x⁵+1). …
