This is a tricky expression. I'm not sure you have all the bracket right
or how this functions looks in true algebraic form. Is the last
numerator outside the whole expression? Maxima claims that the syntax is
wrong.
With a complicated function like this, it is extremely important to see
it written in correct mathematical form. Can you provide it in LaTex style?
If the function is what I think it is, asin will be forced to evaluate
values for arcsin(x) way outside the domain -1 < x < 1. That will cause
a complex function instead.

It wont show up anywhere on my page!!
Thank You
