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

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

- \frac{π}{2}

Decimal

- 1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - \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_{0}^{4} x^{2} e^{x^{3}} d x

\int_{0}^{\infty} 5 x e^{- 3 x} d x

\int_{0}^{1} x (1 + 2 x)^{- 3} d x

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{4}} \frac{1}{1 + sin ( x )} d x

\int_{- 1}^{2} 3 x^{2} d x
