C4 Numerical integration (trapizium rule)

Use trapezium to find value of integral (arcsinx)2 dx

So arcsinx = sin-1x
So (arcsinx)2 = (sin-1x)2 = sin-2x

Is this correct? If so to type sin-2x into calculator would it be sinx-2

In this case -1 is not a power so NO

How would you do this part then? I'm completely lost

Which "part"?

Your calculator can give you the value of arcsin x, which you then square to get the values you want.
