When I was doing integral problems recently, I often see conversions like this.
such as: $$\int{\frac{dx}{\sqrt{(x-a)(b-x)}}}= \int{\frac{dx}{\sqrt{(a+b)x-x^2-ab}}}=\int{\frac{dx}{\sqrt{\frac{(a-b)^2}{4}-(x-\frac{a+b}{2})^2}}}$$
Is there any trick to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
$\displaystyle \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{e^2 - (fx + g)^2}}$ will succumb to
$\displaystyle fx + g = e\sin t.$
