So you aren't satisfied with my answer (repeated below)?  Why?

Martin

ex := 1/(x*sqrt(x^n-a^n))
aa := integrate(ex, x)
bb:=2/(n*sqrt(a^n))*acos(sqrt(a^n/x^n))

expRule := rule %e^(n*log x) == x^n
sqrtRule := rule 1/sqrt z == sqrt(1/z)
sqrtRule2 := rule sqrt w * sqrt z == sqrt(w*z)
sqrtRule3 := rule sqrt(w/z) == sqrt(w*z)/z
powerRule := rule z^(2*n)==(z^n)^2

(17) -> powerRule sqrtRule3 sqrtRule2 sqrtRule expRule normalize(aa.2 - bb)
