Prove the definition of the arcsin(s).
$begingroup$
I am given $arcsin: S rightarrow (-pi/2,pi/2) $ is the inverse function of sin(t) (restricted to [$-pi/2,pi/2$]). I'm trying to prove that $arcsin(s)$= $int_{0}^{s}1/sqrt{1-x^2}$ .
My initial thoughts for an attempt of a proof:
By definition, we know:
$sin(arcsin(x)) = x$
Thus by the chain rule:
$(sin(arcsin(x)) = x)' $
$ cos(arcsin(x)) times d (arcsin(x))/dx = 1$
Also by definition, we know: $sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1$
It has been given that $cos(x) > 0 $ over the interval $(-pi/2,pi/2)$, which implies
$sin(arcsin(x))^2 + cos(arcsin(x))^2= 1$.
Therefore, $cos(arcsin(x)) = sqrt{(1-x^2)}$
So, $sqrt{(1-x^2)}times d (arcsin(x)) /dx = 1$ and
$d (arcsin(x)) /dx = 1/sqrt{(1-x^2)}$
From there I think we will use parts of the MVT or the fundamental theorem of calculus to prove the result $arcsin(s)=int_{0}^{s}1/sqrt{1-x^2}$, but I'm having trouble with the formalities.

Why don't you just integrate both side by x from 0 to s?

You can use the fact that$$arcsin'(x)=frac1{sin'(arcsin x)}=frac1{cos(arcsin x)}=frac1{sqrt{1-x^2}}.$$So, and since $arcsin(0)=0$, you get that$$arcsin s=int_0^sfrac{mathrm dx}{sqrt{1-x^2}}.$$

Problem: $$int_0^sfrac 1{sqrt{1-x^2}}dx$$
Let $$x=sin theta$$ then we get:
$$frac{dx}{dtheta}=cos theta$$
By derivating both side by $x$.
$$therefore int_0^sfrac 1{sqrt{1-x^2}}dx$$
$$=int_0^{arcsin s}frac {costheta}{sqrt{1-{sin^2 theta}}}dtheta$$
$$=int_0^{arcsin s} 1 dtheta$$
$$=left[ theta right]^{arcsin s}_{arcsin 0} dtheta$$
$$=arcsin s$$.
