The indefinite integral is:\[\frac{1}{2} \left(w \sqrt{1-w^2}+\text{ArcSin}[w]\right)+C \]
OpenStudy (agreene):
let:
w=sin(u)
dw=cos(u)
thus: int sqrt(1-sin^2(u))= cos u and u= sin^(-1)u
thus:
int cos^2(u) du = int 1/2 cos(2u)+1/2 du (double angle formula)
do those two, and you'll arrive back at:... well what robtoey has, and plug and play from there.

we lost the a
OpenStudy (agreene):
lol didnt notice it... its a constant, so just put an a in the answer :P

Sorry. Overlooked "a"
The answer is:\[a*\frac{ \pi }{4} \]

where is the trig functions coming from?
