Evaluate the Integral
Problem
Solution
Apply substitution to simplify the integrand by letting
u=1−x2 Calculate the differential
d(u)=−2*x*d(x) which impliesx*d(x)=−1/2*d(u) Express the remaining terms in terms of
u usingx2=1−u Change the limits of integration from
x tou whenx=0 u=1 whenx=1 u=0 Substitute into the integral to rewrite the expression:
Simplify the constant and reverse the limits of integration to remove the negative sign:
Distribute the term
u(1/2) inside the parentheses:
Integrate term by term using the power rule:
Evaluate at the boundaries
