Answer:   \frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}

Hint:  The range of principal value of \tan ^{-1} is \left [ -\frac{\pi }{2} ,\frac{\pi }{2}\right ]

Given:  \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{x}{a+\sqrt{a^{2}-x^{2}}}\right],-a<x<a

Explanation:

Put        x=a \sin \theta, \text { then } \theta=\sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a}

            \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{a \sin \theta}{a+\sqrt{a^{2}-a^{2} \sin ^{2} \theta}}\right]

            \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{a \sin \theta}{a+\sqrt{a^{2}\left(1-\sin ^{2} \theta\right)}}\right] \quad \because\left[\sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta=1\right]

            \begin{aligned} &\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{a \sin \theta}{a+\sqrt{a^{2} \cos ^{2} \theta}}\right] \\ &\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{a \sin \theta}{a+a \cos \theta}\right] \end{aligned}

            \begin{aligned} &\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{a \sin \theta}{a(1+\cos \theta)}\right] \\ &\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\sin \theta}{1+\cos \theta}\right] \end{aligned}

                                                                                    \because \left[\begin{array}{l} \sin 2 \theta=2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \\ \cos 2 x=2 \cos ^{2} x-1 \end{array}\right]

            \tan ^{-1}\left\{\frac{2 \sin \frac{\theta}{2} \cos \frac{\theta}{2}}{1+2 \cos ^{2} \frac{\theta}{2}-1}\right\}

            \begin{aligned} &\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\sin \frac{\theta}{2}}{\cos \frac{\theta}{2}}\right] \\ &\tan ^{-1}\left[\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right] \end{aligned}

As we know, \tan ^{-1}(\tan x)=x, x \in\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]

            \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad \frac{\theta}{2} \\ &\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1} \frac{x}{a} \end{aligned}
