integral from-1 to 1 of sqrt(1-x^2)

\int_{- 1}^{1} 1 - x^{2} d x

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal Notation

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- 1}^{1} 1 - x^{2} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (u) d u

= \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 + cos ( 2 u )}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 + cos (2 u) d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} (\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u + \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 u) d u)

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u = π

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 u) d u = 0

= \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : \frac{π}{2}

= \frac{π}{2}

\int x arctan (x) d x

\int_{0}^{t} t^{2} e^{- 4 t} d t

\frac{d}{d x} (x + tan (x))

\int x^{6} e^{x} d x

(4 x^{2} - 8 x + 8) e^{x}
