Primitive of Arccosine of x over a over x squared

Theorem

 * $\displaystyle \int \frac {\arccos \frac x a \ \mathrm d x} {x^2} = \frac {-\arccos \frac x a} x + \frac 1 a \ln \left({\frac {a + \sqrt {a^2 - x^2} } x}\right) + C$

Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
 * $\displaystyle \int u \frac {\mathrm d v}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x = u v - \int v \frac {\mathrm d u}{\mathrm d x} \ \mathrm d x$

let:

and let:

Then:
