Integral HELP!
\[\int\limits_{\frac{ 0 }{ }}^{\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{2} }} \frac{ x }{ \sqrt{1-x^4} }dx\]
Does anyone have any idea how to solve it?
@SolomonZelman ?
\(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ \sqrt{~2}}\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}~dx}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ \sqrt{~2}}\frac{x}{\sqrt{1^2-(x^2)^2}}~dx}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ \sqrt{~2}}\frac{x}{\sqrt{(1^2-x^2)(1^2+x^2)}}~dx}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ \sqrt{~2}}\frac{x}{\sqrt{(1-x^2)(1+x^2)}}~dx}\)
does this make sense so far?
I used the difference of squares. (if you don't get it, ask)
yes I tried that
(the next step would be u=x^2)
I got there so far
\(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ \sqrt{~2}}\frac{x}{\sqrt{(1-x^2)(1+x^2)}}~dx}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle u=x^2}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle du=2x~dx}\) --> \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle (1/2)~du=x~dx}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle x=1/\sqrt{2}}\) --> \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle u=1/2}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle x=0}\) --> \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle u=0}\) \(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\int\limits_{0}^{1/ 2}\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{(1-u)(1+u)}}~du}\)
arctg!
what , sorry ?
\(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{0}^{1/ 2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}~du}\)
sorry my bad, I thought the solution for this integral is arctang
arcsinu right?
yup
\(\large\color{slate}{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{0}^{1/ 2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}~du~~=~~\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(u)~{\Huge|}^{1/2}_{0}}\)
then plug in the limits of integration
thanks again!
I got the right answer thanks to you!
yw
I shall
I will depart for 1 hour or so..... bye
