How to do this integral? trigonometric sustitution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{a}^{b}(4-y)\sqrt{4-y ^{2}}dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This one is a little bit trickier than the other one, the other one was pretty easy in comparison I believe, I'm lacking the first steps only I guess...

OpenStudy (chaise):

Use the substitution: \[\sqrt{a^2-y^2}=>y=asin(\theta)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But do I first multiply 4-y and the root? I need a little push on the very first steps, I can take it from then on.

OpenStudy (chaise):

Take the integral: integral (4-y) sqrt(4-y^2) dy For the integrand (4-y) sqrt(4-y^2), substitute y = 2 sin(u) and dy = 2 cos(u) du. Then sqrt(4-y^2) = sqrt(4-4 sin^2(u)) = 2 cos(u) and u = sin^(-1)(y/2): = 2 integral 2 (4-2 sin(u)) cos^2(u) du Factor out constants: = 4 integral (4-2 sin(u)) cos^2(u) du Write cos^2(u) as 1-sin^2(u): = 4 integral (4-2 sin(u)) (1-sin^2(u)) du Expanding the integrand (4-2 sin(u)) (1-sin^2(u)) gives 2 sin^3(u)-4 sin^2(u)-2 sin(u)+4: = 4 integral (2 sin^3(u)-4 sin^2(u)-2 sin(u)+4) du Integrate the sum term by term and factor out constants: = 8 integral sin^3(u) du-16 integral sin^2(u) du-8 integral sin(u) du+16 integral 1 du Use the reduction formula, integral sin^m(u) du = -(cos(u) sin^(m-1)(u))/m + (m-1)/m integral sin^(-2+m)(u) du, where m = 3: = -8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)-8/3 integral sin(u) du-16 integral sin^2(u) du+16 integral 1 du The integral of sin(u) is -cos(u): = (8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)-16 integral sin^2(u) du+16 integral 1 du Write sin^2(u) as 1/2-1/2 cos(2 u): = (8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)-16 integral (1/2-1/2 cos(2 u)) du+16 integral 1 du Integrate the sum term by term and factor out constants: = (8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+8 integral cos(2 u) du+8 integral 1 du For the integrand cos(2 u), substitute s = 2 u and ds = 2 du: = (8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+4 integral cos(s) ds+8 integral 1 du The integral of cos(s) is sin(s): = (8 cos(u))/3+4 sin(s)-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+8 integral 1 du The integral of 1 is u: = 4 sin(s)+8 u+(8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+constant Substitute back for s = 2 u: = 8 u+4 sin(2 u)+(8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+constant Apply the double angle formula sin(2 u) = 2 sin(u) cos(u): = 8 u+(8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+8 sin(u) cos(u)+constant Express cos(u) in terms of sin(u) using cos^2(u) = 1-sin^2(u): = 8 u+8 sqrt(1-sin^2(u)) sin(u)+(8 cos(u))/3-8/3 sin^2(u) cos(u)+constant Substitute back for u = sin^(-1)(y/2): = -1/3 sqrt(4-y^2) y^2+2 sqrt(4-y^2) y+(4 sqrt(4-y^2))/3+8 sin^(-1)(y/2)+constant Which is equal to: 8 sin^(-1)(y/2)-1/3 sqrt(4-y^2) (y^2-6 y-4)+constant

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

hmm do this \[\int(4-y)\sqrt{4-y^2}dy=\int 4 \sqrt{4-y^2}dy-\int y\sqrt{4-y^2}dy\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the second one is a straight forward substitution

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

the first you gonna do trig sub like the dude did above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, let me try real fast, thanks!

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

chaise already did the work lol

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

i have no will to check the work, but the start is good. so should be good
