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

\int_{- a}^{a} (a^{2} - t^{2}) d t

\frac{π}{2} a^{2}

Solution steps

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

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}

\int_{0}^{4} (2 t + 1) d t

\int_{0}^{20} x + sin (x) d x

\int_{1}^{4} 4 x - x^{2} d x

\int_{16}^{2 y + 4} 1

\int_{0}^{2} (x^{2} y e^{x y}) d x
