First, recall the antiderivative formula:
#int dx/sqrt(a^2-u^2) = arcsin(u/a) + C#

Thus, #int dx/sqrt(49-x^2) = int dx/sqrt(7^2-x^2)#

We have #int dx/sqrt(7^2-x^2) = arcsin(x/7) + C#

Substitute in the constraints we

#int_0^(7sqrt(3/2)) dx/sqrt(7^2-x^2) = arcsin((7sqrt(3/2))/7) - arcsin(0) = arcsin((7sqrt(3/2))/7) #
