Primitive of Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent of x over a

Theorem

 * $\displaystyle \int \tanh^{-1} \frac x a \rd x = x \tanh^{-1} \dfrac x a + \frac {a \ln \left({a^2 - x^2}\right)} 2 + C$

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

let:

and let:

Then:
