integrate
\[\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}xdx \div(a^2-\cos^2x)\]
@ganeshie8
show that if \[U{n=\int\limits_{0}^{2a}}x^{n }\sqrt{2ax-x^2}dx,U{n}=((2n+1)\div(n+2))timesaU _{n-1}\]
put \[x=2asin^2\theta \]
@Ashleyisakitty
\[2ax-x^2=-(x^2-2ax)=-(x^2-2ax+a^2)+a^2 \\= -(x-a)^2+a^2=a^2-(x-a)^2\]
\[=a^2(1-(\frac{x-a}{a})^2)\]
so I think the sub would be be sin(theta)=(x-a)/a
and i think this is integration by parts for sure
we need to integrate that sqrt(2ax-x^2) part and differentiate the x^n part
@freckles put x=2asin^2(theta)
is that required?
@freckles its not .thank u for answer
So that is the sub you came up with?
and maybe integration by parts won't work just the first think that popped into my head
looks like you are asking two different questions. the first question is an integral
a definite integral involving cos
