\[\int\limits_{0}^{a} x^2\sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx\]
correct just funny way to say help

This would also be a problem of solving the integral using trig substituion
try \(\large x = a\sin u\)
I have and that would make dx = a cos u du and if i change the limits of integration when x=a than u = pi/2 and if i change x =0 then u = pi and I got Then i solved for what the squareroot portion would equal if i were to insert the x into it and go a cos u out of that so I now have \[\int\limits_{\pi/2}^{\pi}a^3\sin ^2u \cos u du\] This is where I am stuck
integrand should be \(\large a^4 \sin^2u \cos^2u\) check again
well i put x = a sin u in where we got x^2 and got \[a^2\sin^2u\] then i solved the square root portion \[\sqrt{a^2-x^2} when x = a \sin u\] \[\sqrt{a^2-a^2\sin^2u}\] \[\sqrt{a^2}\sqrt{1-\sin^2u}\] \[a \sqrt{\cos^2u}\] \[a \cos u\] bring it together \[(a^2\sin^2u)(a \cos u)( a \cos u)\] OK now I see where I got that wrong
