integrate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}xdx \div(a^2-\cos^2x)\]

show that if \[U{n=\int\limits_{0}^{2a}}x^{n }\sqrt{2ax-x^2}dx,U{n}=((2n+1)\div(n+2))timesaU _{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put \[x=2asin^2\theta \]

@Ashleyisakitty

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[2ax-x^2=-(x^2-2ax)=-(x^2-2ax+a^2)+a^2 \\= -(x-a)^2+a^2=a^2-(x-a)^2\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[=a^2(1-(\frac{x-a}{a})^2)\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

so I think the sub would be be sin(theta)=(x-a)/a

OpenStudy (freckles):

and i think this is integration by parts for sure

OpenStudy (freckles):

we need to integrate that sqrt(2ax-x^2) part and differentiate the x^n part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles put x=2asin^2(theta)

OpenStudy (freckles):

is that required?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles its not .thank u for answer

OpenStudy (freckles):

So that is the sub you came up with?

OpenStudy (freckles):

and maybe integration by parts won't work just the first think that popped into my head

OpenStudy (perl):

looks like you are asking two different questions. the first question is an integral

OpenStudy (perl):

a definite integral involving cos
