an integral.

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }{\rm Sin}^{-1}({\tiny~}\sqrt{x}{\tiny~~})~dx\]

OpenStudy (idku):

So I am going to use an integration by parts. I will differentiate the sine function: \[y={\rm Sin}^{-1}({\tiny~}\sqrt{x}{\tiny~~})\]\[\sqrt{x}={\rm Sin}({\tiny~}y{\tiny~~})\]then the derivative, \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}=y'\cos(y)\]|dw:1422049274243:dw|\[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}=y'\sqrt{x+1}\]\[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+x}}=y'\]

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }{\rm Sin}^{-1}(\sqrt{x})~dx=x{\rm Sin}^{-1}(\sqrt{x})-2\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Call \(u=\sqrt{x}\), then \(du = \frac{dx}{2\sqrt{x}}\), so that your integral now becomes: \[2*\int\limits_{}^{}u*asin(u)du\], now just solve by parts

OpenStudy (idku):

it is an inverse sin.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes asin = sin^-1

OpenStudy (idku):

Not just sin. Also, the hint I was given is to use by parts.

OpenStudy (idku):

oh, I was like... sorry

OpenStudy (idku):

arcsin.. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }{\rm Sin}^{-1}(\sqrt{x})~dx=x{\rm Sin}^{-1}(\sqrt{x})-2\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\] should be correct, if I didn't make silly errors.

OpenStudy (idku):

I will find \[-2\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\] and put it together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u did is correct

OpenStudy (idku):

oh, tnx

OpenStudy (idku):

wait, \[u=x^2+x\] doesn';t work

OpenStudy (idku):

Let me see if I can find this one. give me a bit time to think

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}+\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}-\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{(1/2)(2x+1)}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}-\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (idku):

\[u=x^2+x\]for the first one: \[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{(1/2)}{\sqrt{u}}du-\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't think you should compare, cuz i made a substituion that makes things different

OpenStudy (idku):

then, the first integral is going to be: \[\sqrt{x^2+x}+C-\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (idku):

I think it isn't going bad.

OpenStudy (idku):

Then I will solve \[\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\] (I will gather the pieces later)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let's try to solve that integral

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{1/2}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\] wait, you can't use partical fractions, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to solve \[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ x }{ \sqrt{x^2 + x} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think you can't in this case

OpenStudy (idku):

why do I have to solve that one, and not the one I posted?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your expression for the result of integration by parts only needs to solve that last integral so that you get teh answer

OpenStudy (idku):

alright, lets do it from here.\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]without completing the fraction.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, let me think

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+1}}~dx\]if that makes it any easier, but I doubt it.

OpenStudy (idku):

oh wait,.

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+1}}~dx\] u=x+1 x=u-1 dx=du

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{\sqrt{u-1}}{\sqrt{u}}~du\]

OpenStudy (idku):

not much -:( but at least something

OpenStudy (freckles):

how do you feel about trig substitution @idku?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really don't see a simple way for solving this one

OpenStudy (idku):

which ?

OpenStudy (freckles):

trig sub for \[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

complete the square inside the sqrt( ) thingy and then apply a trig sub

OpenStudy (freckles):

are you familiar with trig subs?

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{4})^2}}~dx\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

x^2+x+(1/2)^2-(1/2)^2 (x+1/2)^2-1/4

OpenStudy (idku):

Oh I left something out

OpenStudy (idku):

\[\int\limits_{ }^{ }\frac{x}{\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{4})^2-\frac{1}{16}}}~dx\]Am I right?

OpenStudy (freckles):

also here is another way to look at the integral if you prefer \[\int\limits \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x}) dx \\ \text{ Let } y=\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x}) \\ \sin(y)=\sqrt{x} \\ \cos(y) dy=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}} dx \\ 2 \sqrt{x} \cos(y) dy =dx \\ 2 \sin(y) \cos(y) dy =dx \\ \sin(2y) dy=dx \\ \int\limits_{}^{} y \sin(2y) dy\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

I don't think that is correct

OpenStudy (idku):

oh then by parts for the last thing you wrote?

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[x^2+x=x^2+x+(\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2=(x+\frac{1}{2})^2-(\frac{1}{2})^2 \\ x^2=x=(x+\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{1}{4}\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes you can do integration by parts there

OpenStudy (freckles):

and i think it will be tons easier than this other way

OpenStudy (idku):

I think I got it from here. If anything I can use wolfram to check. ty that was indeed easier.

OpenStudy (freckles):

this is also what @M4thM1nd wrote above sorry didn't see that

OpenStudy (idku):

didn't see he did it, but weither way I got the approach.

OpenStudy (idku):

w should be there

OpenStudy (idku):

tnx again

OpenStudy (idku):

i got to go now, srry
