integrating almost symmetric functions

32 Views Asked by At

Evaluate $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{(1-x^2)(1-k^2x^2)}}$ where $k^2<1$. The idea I had in mind was substituting $x=\sin \theta$. But how can I remove this $k$ term from the expression? Can it even be solved with elementary functions?
