Hello,
could you please help me with the following problem:
I try to integrate symbolically
Integrate[ArcSinh[(a-Sqrt[b^2-x^2])/(c-x)],x] where a,b,c=const
but don't obtain any solution using Mathematica 2.2 and 3.0. I tried some
equivalent formulations of the integrand like
ArcSinh[z]=Log[z-Sqrt[1+z^2]
ArcSinh[z]=-I ArcSin[I z]
where z is the argument of ArcSinh in the integral: without success. Are
there any tricks you could suggest me to try out, any nice substitution?
I suspect the solution to contain some elliptic integrals.
best wishes,
Patrick
