Maclaurin expansion of $\arcsin x$ I'm trying to find the first five terms of the Maclaurin expansion of $\arcsin x$, possibly using the fact that
$$\arcsin x = \int_0^x \frac{dt}{(1-t^2)^{1/2}}.$$
I can only see that I can interchange differentiation and integration but not sure how to go about this. Thanks!

If all you want is the terms of $\arcsin x$ out to $x^5$, it’s also easy enough to invert (“revert”) the series $x-x^3/6+x^5/120$ by hand. You’re looking for a series $A(x)=x + ax^3+bx^5$ so that $\sin(A(x))=x$, but you’re willing to do it modulo terms of degree six or more. Just working modulo $(x^4)$, you see immediately that $a=+1/6$, so the only work is to find $b$. When you calculate $\sin(A(x))$ out to degree five, always ignoring any term in $x^n$ for $n>5$, you get $x+(b-1/12+1/120)x^5$, and you want that last part to be zero, so $b=3/40$.
