hey guys, stuggling with the algebraic rearrangement of some trig involved in integration

i dont understand how the last two steps work....
you have the theta - sintheta.costheta
and theta = sin^-1(x)^1/2
so you put that into theta - sintheta.costheta + c bit.....but i cant seem to do this algebracially to reach the final step

any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED
cheers

It's just getting your answer in terms of the original variable in the question (being x).

From the substitution, x=sin2@

Then sin@=sqrt(x)

@=sin-1{sqrt(x)}

Also, by drawing a right triangle, we find that cos@=sqrt(1-x)

Substitute these to get the final anwer.
