Indefinite integral are written in the form of `int f(x) dx = F(x) +C`
where: f(x) as the integrand
F(x) as the anti-derivative function
C as the arbitrary constant known as constant of integration
For the given problem, the integrand `f(x) =1/sqrt(1 -(x+1)^2)` we apply
u-substitution by letting `u =(x+1) ` and `du = 1 dx or du= dx` .
`int (dx)/sqrt(1 -(x+1)^2) = int (du)/sqrt(1 -u^2)`
`int (du)/sqrt(1 -u^2) ` resembles the basic integration` ` formula for inverse sine function: `int (dx)/sqrt(1-x^2)=arcsin(x) +C` .
By applying the formula, we get:
`int (du)/sqrt(1 -u^2) =arcsin(u) +C`
Then to express it in terms of x, we substitute `u=(x+1)` :
`arcsin(u) +C =arcsin(x+1) +C`
