∫10x√1−x4dx
u=x2
x=√u
u2=x4
du=2xdx
dx=du2x=du2√u
√1−x4=√1−u2
Now, we substitute the above into the problem integral to turn it into an integral in terms of u:
∫(√u)(√1−u2)(du2√u)=
12∫√1−u2du
Now we can use trigonometric substitution to solve this:
u=sinθ
du=cosθd(θ)
12∫√1−sin2θcosθd(θ)
12∫√cos2θcosθd(θ)
12∫cosθcosθd(θ)=12∫cos2θd(θ)
cos2θ=1+cos(2θ)2
14∫(1+cos(2θ))d(θ)=14∫d(θ)+14∫cos(2θ)d(θ)
14θ+18sin(2θ)
Now, we can substitute back for u:
u=sinθ, then θ=arcsinu
cosθ=√1−six2θ=√1−u2
sin(2θ)=2sinθcosθ=2u√1−u2
14θ+18sin(2θ)=arcsinu+u√1−u24
Now, we can substitute back for x:
∫10x√1−x4dx=arcsinx2+x2√1−x44
We will evaluate this from 0 to 1:
