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

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

\frac{π}{2} a^{2}

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= a^{2} \cdot \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

= a^{2} \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

= a^{2} \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

= a^{2} \frac{1}{2} (π + 0)

Simplify

a^{2} \frac{1}{2} (π + 0) : \frac{π}{2} a^{2}

= \frac{π}{2} a^{2}

x \to 1 lim (\frac{x ^{2} - 5}{x})

\int y (e^{y}) d y

\frac{d}{d x} (ln (x + 1) - e^{3 x})

f (x) = x^{2} + 9, (- 4, 25)
