When a = e this reduces to ex and is called the natural exponential function.

The derivatives of the six inverse trigonometric functions fall into three pairs.
In each pair, the derivative of one function is the negative of the other. When
listing the integral that corresponds to each of the inverse trigonometric
functions, you need to use only one member from each pair.

Rationalizing Substitution
Some nonrational functions can be changed into rational functions by
means of appropriate substitutions.
In particular, when an integrand contains
p p an expression of the form

g(x) then the substitution u = g(x) may be effective.
