Hey guys, sorry about this, but for some reason I can't remember how to integrate √(25-x²)

Thanks in advance.

let x = 5sin@

if it's a definite integral, note that its a semi circle.

Are we supposed to know that for 2U?

S sqrt(25-x^2)
= 1/2 sqrt(25-x^2)*x + 25/2 arcsin (x/5)
.....i think its the answer.
I'll try to scan you my solution.

Umm.. I think that requires substitution which is actually then 3 unit and if they haven't given you wat to sub in for what then it's 4 unit.

I would do

let x = 5 sin@
dx = 5cos@ d@

integral (25 - 25 sin²@)^(1/2) .5 cos@ d@
= integ [25(1 - sin²@)]^(1/2) .5 cos@ d@
= integ 5cos@ .5cos@ d@
= integ 25 cos²@ d@
and cos2@ = 2cos²@ - 1 (3 unit double the angle)
therefore, cos²@ = 1/2 (cos2@ + 1)

so integ. 25/2 [cos2@ + 1] d@
= 25/4(sin2@ + @) + C

Don't think so..normally if they give you an integral like that, it's a definite integral

ie. int sqrt(a^2-x^2) dx a->0

Not entirely correct. It's also 25/2[sin2@/2 + @] , not 25/4.

You need to revert the @'s back into x's.

nah the only way theyd ask you that is if it had the limits -5 >5 or 0>5
so you can just do the area of a semi circle or quarter circle

I would actually find the area of the semi-circle with raidus of 5 for that question.

A = 1/2 x 5^2 x pi

It's not a definite integral, though.

Yeah, I know. I actually used the method that tommy suggested.

But I used my method to check it.

Yeah and your method was wrong from the start. You cannot use that method because you can only use that when the equation is in the form (ax+b)^something.

This is a 3-Unit HSC level question where you have to let u = sin x or whatever to get it right.

...so my answer is wrong. I'll try again. Sorry

I can't find my fault, i kept trying. I can't post my answer since it takes to long to write on computer. and i am doing my physics assignment.
