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

integral

(1 - x^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}

\frac{1}{2} (arcsin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (x))) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int cos^{2} (u) d u

= \int cos^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \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 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 1 d u + \int cos (2 u) d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int cos (2 u) d u = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u)

= \frac{1}{2} (u + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u))

Substitute back

u = arcsin (x)

= \frac{1}{2} (arcsin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (x)))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} (arcsin (x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (x))) + C

x (2 - x)^{3}

\frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}

\frac{1}{sin ^{4} ( x )}

\frac{tan ( x )}{cos ^{2} ( x )}

cot (\frac{x}{2})
