i'm stuck on this question, and i can't move on in my work until i know how to do it.

the question is

"by differentiating each RHS, prove the extended standard forms with two constants (blah blah blah--stuff about box 15 in textbook)"

(1/√a^2-b^2x^2)dx=(1/b)sin^1(bx/a)+C

thanks in advance!

The question here is asking you to differentiate both sides of the equation, not to integrate, that should help you there :) Although you can integrate the LHS to get the RHS, but it's asking for you to differentiate both sides.
