$\int \frac{1}{x^2-3x+2}$ d$x = \int \frac{1}{(x-2)(x-1)} $ d$x \\ =\int( \frac{1}{x-2}-\frac{1}{x-1}) $ d$x \\\\= $ln$|x-2|-$ln$|x-1|+$C$$

$$ \noindent By very strongly considering the borders, $ \\$or otherwise, if you're masochistic, evaluate:$ \\ \int_0^1 \sin^{-1}{\sqrt{x}} \,\, \text{d}x$

Also, a way to do this is note that arcsin(root(0))=0, and so this can be evaluated using the integral from 0 to a of a function of x = ab - the integral from 0 to b of the inverse function of x, where f(a)=b. I had to type this like I just did sorry haha.

you can rearrange

and

to simplify the inside the integrals to get

use substitution

then

let

constant

From the you can see the integrals is tan inverse of \sqrt{u^2-1}
We can back track to find it in terms of theta

Somewhat convoluted.
