I input the following into the web-based Mathematica and it timed out
before giving an answer. Can anyone help finding out if there is a
symbolic answer:
sin[x]*sqrt(1-a*(cos[x])^2*((1+sin[x])^2/(1+a*sin[x])^2+(1-
a)*cos[x]^2))
Please copy and paste the formula in order to avoid introducing
errors. Thank you. |

Sorry, wrong integrand, here is the correct one:
sin[x]*sqrt(1-a*(cos[x])^2((1+sin[x])^2/(1+a*(sin[x])^2)+(1-
a)*(cos[x])^2)) |

It recognized the lower case, this is not the problem. |

Excellent! Thank you , Eric!
Your jubilation is, I think, premature. If you differentiate the supposed
antiderivative shown there, you get just
sin(x) sqrt(1 - a cos(x)^2)
which is not equal to the given integrand.

Hmm,
So, what is the correct answer? |

Yes, it is. If you have Maple, Mathematica, or MATLAB, have one of
them [preferably Maple] apply the relevant simplify command to the
expression.
