in Substitution Rule

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\int\limits\limits_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}}\frac{\sin^{-1}(x)}{\sqrt{1-x}} dx\]

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i would make the substitution: x = sin^2(u) dx = 2sin*cos du \[\rightarrow 2\int\limits_{0}^{.5}u^{2} \sin(u) du\] Then use integration by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I don't know how to do it

myininaya (myininaya):

Do you know integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i do but that question is on substitution not in integration by parts

myininaya (myininaya):

Why can't we do both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can do :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}u^2 \sin(u) du=u^2(- \cos(u))-\int\limits_{}^{}2u (-\cos(u)) du\] you will need to do integration by parts one more time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok Thank you a lot guys :)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

one thing I am confused on here, where did we get u^2 ? are you saying arcsin(sin^2u)=u^2 ?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes arcsin(sin u) = u by definition of the inverse function

OpenStudy (turingtest):

somehow the idea that that extends to arcsin(sin^n(u))=u^n has never been brought to my attention. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could we have just used the substitution:\[u = \sin^{-1}(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah disregard, i didnt look at the denominator properly.

myininaya (myininaya):

yeah i don't know if that is true turing

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah it can't be

OpenStudy (turingtest):

arcsin(sin(u^n))=u^n arcsin(sin^n(u))=?

myininaya (myininaya):

i agree with the first equation you have turing

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

wait now that i look at it again, i think i have it backwards. sorry everyone sin^2(arcsin u) = u^2 , thats what i thought it was

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Oh man, I thought I was loosing it :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got |dw:1327181038255:dw|
