1/x^2sqrt(4-x^2)
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x^2\sqrt{4-x^2} }\]
first let x=2tan u dx= 2sec^2 u
= \[\frac{ \sec^2 u }{ 4\tan^2u \sqrt{4(1-\tan^2 u)} }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sec^2u }{ \tan^2u \sec u }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sec^2u }{ \sec u - \sec^3 u }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sec^2u }{ \sec^2u }\]
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\int\limits_{}^{}1du\]
\[\frac{ u }{ 4 }+c\]
am i correct?
Your substitution won't be helpful. Instead, use \(x=2\sin u\), you have \(dx=2\cos u~du\). \[\int\frac{dx}{x^2\sqrt{4-x^2}}=\int\frac{2\cos u}{4\cos^2u\sqrt{4-4\sin^2u}}~du\] Simplifying: \[\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{\cos u}{\cos^2u\sqrt{1-\sin^2u}}~du=\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{du}{\cos^2u}=\frac{1}{4}\int\sec^2u~du\]
i made a mistake when i lablelled the question, its actualy\[\frac{ 1 }{ x^2 \sqrt{4+x^2}}\]
thats why i used tan instead of sin
Okay so \(x=2\tan u\), you have \(dx=2\sec^2 u~du\). \[\int\frac{dx}{x^2\sqrt{4+x^2}}=\int\frac{2\sec^2 u}{4\tan^2u\sqrt{4+4\tan^2u}}~du\] Simplifying: \[\int\frac{2\sec^2 u}{4\tan^2u\sqrt{4+4\tan^2u}}~du=\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{\sec u}{\tan^2u}~du\] No need to change tangent to secant. Instead, use the definition of secant and tangent, you get \[\frac{\sec u}{\tan^2u}=\frac{\dfrac{1}{\cos u}}{\dfrac{\sin^2u}{\cos^2u}}=\frac{\cos u}{\sin^2u}\] Finally a simple substitution, \(t=\sin u\) gives \(dt=\cos u~du\), and you have \[\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{dt}{t^2}\]
