\[\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{2 a x-x^{2}}}=a^{n} \sin ^{-1}\left[\frac{x}{a}-1\right]\]The value of \( n \) is(a) 0(b) \( -1 \)(c) 1(d) none of these.You may use dimensional analysis to solve the problem.

Answer»

\(\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{2ax-x^2}}\)

\(= \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2 - (x -a)^2}}\)

\(= sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-a}a\right)\)

\(= sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}a -1\right)\)

\(\therefore n = 0\)
