Go !

leeeeeeet's

x = cos(t)
arccos(x) = t

dx = -sin(t) dt

Integral become

-int (sin^2(t))^(3/2)/cos^6(t)*sin(t)dt

-int sin^4(t)/cos^6(t)

-int tan^4(t)* 1/cos^2(t)dt

Let's u = tan(t)

du = 1/cos^2(t) dt

Integral become

-intu^4du

-[1/5u^5]

Substitute back

-[1/5tan^5(t)]

-[1/5tan^5(arccos(x))]

You can simplify in

-(1 - x^2)^(5/2)/(5 x^5)
