1. **Problem Statement:** We want to find the integral of an inverse trigonometric function, for example, $\int \arcsin(x) \, dx$.
2. **Formula and Rules:** Integration by parts is often used for inverse trig functions. Recall the formula:
$$\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$$
Choose $u$ as the inverse trig function and $dv$ as the remaining part.
3. **Step-by-step Integration of $\int \arcsin(x) \, dx$:**
- Let $u = \arcsin(x)$, so $du = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$.
- Let $dv = dx$, so $v = x$.
4. **Apply integration by parts:**
$$\int \arcsin(x) \, dx = x \arcsin(x) - \int x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$$
5. **Simplify the remaining integral:**
$$\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$$
Use substitution: let $w = 1 - x^2$, then $dw = -2x \, dx$ or $-\frac{1}{2} dw = x \, dx$.
6. **Rewrite the integral:**
$$\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx = \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{w}} \, dx = \int \frac{-\frac{1}{2} dw}{\sqrt{w}} = -\frac{1}{2} \int w^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, dw$$
7. **Integrate:**
$$-\frac{1}{2} \int w^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, dw = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 w^{\frac{1}{2}} + C = -\sqrt{w} + C = -\sqrt{1-x^2} + C$$
8. **Final answer:**
$$\int \arcsin(x) \, dx = x \arcsin(x) + \sqrt{1-x^2} + C$$
This process can be adapted for other inverse trig functions using integration by parts and appropriate substitutions.
