Answer

Final Answer: \(\boxed{\frac{x \Gamma\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) \, _2F_1\left(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2}; \frac{7}{6}; x^{6}\right)}{18 \Gamma\left(\frac{7}{6}\right)}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Let's start by making a substitution. Let \(u = x^3\), then \(du = 3x^2 dx\).

Step 2 :This simplifies the integral to \(\int \frac{1}{3} \frac{du}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}\), which is a standard integral that can be solved using trigonometric substitution.

Step 3 :The integral has been evaluated and the result is in terms of special functions, specifically the gamma function and the hypergeometric function.

Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\frac{x \Gamma\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) \, _2F_1\left(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{2}; \frac{7}{6}; x^{6}\right)}{18 \Gamma\left(\frac{7}{6}\right)}}\)
