integral from 0 to 1 of-(1-x^2)^{1/2}

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

- \frac{π}{4}

Decimal Notation

- 0.78539 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int_{0}^{1} (1 - x^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= - \int_{0}^{\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_{0}^{\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_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u + \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (2 u) d u)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u = \frac{π}{2}

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

= - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0)

Simplify

- \frac{1}{2} (\frac{π}{2} + 0) : - \frac{π}{4}

= - \frac{π}{4}

\int_{1}^{6} (x^{2} - 7 x + 6) d x

\int_{- 0.5}^{0} x ln (x + 1) d x

\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 3 x + 2} d x

\int_{1}^{8} t^{2} - 4 t - 12 d t

\int_{0}^{5} \frac{sin ( x )}{x} d x
