can someone solve this for me without changing the limits of integration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{1}^{3}x \sqrt{1-(x-2)^2}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step by step please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has to be a trig substitution i just get stuck when i have to integrate the sins

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Write what you have so far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}(\sin \theta-\sin^3\theta-2\sin^2\theta+2)d \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need that integrated i cant seem to figure out the middle two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i feel as if i should do by parts

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Break it down into four integrals. I'm sure you know how to integrate \(\sin\theta\) and \(2\).

OpenStudy (mr.math):

For \(\sin^3\theta\), write \(\sin^3\theta=\sin\theta-\cos^2\theta\sin\theta\), and then the integral of \(\sin\theta\) is easy. Substitute \(u=\cos\theta\) for the integration of \(-\cos^2\theta\sin\theta\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont remember any trig identities

OpenStudy (mr.math):

\(\sin^2\theta=\frac{1-\cos(2\theta)}{2}\).

OpenStudy (mr.math):

Sorry it should be \(-2\sin^2\theta=\cos(2\theta)-1\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks

OpenStudy (mr.math):

You're welcome.
