INTEGRATION Tough Problem Solvers Beware

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}xsin^{-1 }1/2{({2a-x}/a)^{1/2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot dx:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt matter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u guys still know its integration !! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well if you want to be ignored by people, making them think that you know nothing and actually just writing of the internet...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont understand....this was my previous test problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cudn't solve it....so I asked.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@fakeee what do u want me to do then??

OpenStudy (kainui):

Did you try doing integration by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried everything my friend

OpenStudy (perl):

it would be more legible if you used parentheses for the argument of inverse sine

OpenStudy (perl):

no he doesn't have to remove his question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, good bye:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}xsin^{-1}((1/2){(2a-x/a)^{1/2}})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@perl I hope this helps

OpenStudy (perl):

yes that helps :)

OpenStudy (kainui):

Check this, is this correct? I noticed you might have put your parenthesis wrong: \[\int\limits_{}^{}x \sin^{-1}{( \frac{\sqrt{(2a-x)/a}}{2}}) dx\]

OpenStudy (kainui):

specifically is it (2a-x)/a or 2a-(x/a)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am sorry I can't put it properly...havent got the hang of this!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1st part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone??

OpenStudy (kainui):

Well there are two possible strategies, to pick either x or arcsin(...) as your two different possible choices for integration by parts. I suggest doing it both ways and see what happens. =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u be a little bit more elaborate pls!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1419994554568:dw|like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its tough I get it no one cud solve it...I'll have to save it for after the holidays I guess!!
