For the integral \\[I=\\simplify[std]{Int((({c}) / (sqrt({a}-{b}x^2))),x)}\\] use the substitution $\\displaystyle \\simplify[std]{u=(sqrt({b})/sqrt({a}))*x}$
so that \\[\\simplify[all,!sqrtProduct,fractionNumbers]{sqrt({a}-{b}x^2)=sqrt({a}-{b}*({a}/{b})*u^2)=sqrt({a}-{a}*u^2)=sqrt({a})*sqrt(1-u^2)}\\]

\nInput all numbers as integers, fractions or surds. No decimal numbers. You input surds, for example $\\sqrt{2}$, by writing sqrt(2)
.
Input the constant of integration as $C$.
