@RadEn

myininaya (myininaya):

The hint is substitution. What have you try to substitute?

OpenStudy (rea201):

u=sqrt(1-x^2)

OpenStudy (science0229):

Try u=1-x^2

myininaya (myininaya):

You could actually use that substitution though, the one suggested by @rea201 But yeah normally I would have gone with @science0229 's sub.

OpenStudy (rea201):

Ok so what do I do from there

myininaya (myininaya):

Find the derivative of your sub.

myininaya (myininaya):

So are you going with your sub or science's?

OpenStudy (rea201):

sciences

myininaya (myininaya):

so you have u=1-x^2 find du/dx

OpenStudy (rea201):

ok so that is -2x

myininaya (myininaya):

so du/dx=-2x which implies du=-2x dx or -du/2=dx

myininaya (myininaya):

your integral was: \[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1-x^2} x dx \] replace the x dx with -du/2 and replace the 1-x^2 with u you also need to do change your limits in terms of x to in terms of u

myininaya (myininaya):

you have from x=0 to x=1 change it from u=1-0^2 to u=1-1^2

OpenStudy (rea201):

ok

OpenStudy (rea201):

thanks

OpenStudy (rea201):

So the upper limit is still 1 and the lower limit 0 or viseversa
