    How to Correctly Integrate \( \sqrt{1-x^2} \)?

    EDIT: my tex is a little broken trying to fix So i want to intergrate \int (1 - x^2)^\frac{1}{2} dx i start off by saying \sin u = x so \frac {dx} {du} = \cos u then \int (1 - x^2)^\frac{1}{2} \cos u du which is \int \cos^2 u du...

    Intergration by parts question from A2 core 4

    I need to find the integral of (x^2) 2 (secx)^2 tanx dx said aloud: x squared times by two times by sec squared x times by tan x I tried to use the [tex] function but failed misserably, hope you understand what i mean from what I've written above.

    Trig simplifycation and Intergration

    kay doing Cylidical Shells and what not. given y=sin(x^2) from x=0..sqr(pi) and rottated around the y-axis. I use the forumla for intergration V=2(pi)x F(x) d(x) i get when i subsitute 2(pi)x Sin(x^2) d(x) I know since 2(pi) is constan i pull it through the intergral. Can I...

    What method to calculate intergration?

    For example Intergrate (uv dx)=? Intergrate (u dx/v)=? Intergrate (u^v dx)=? Intergrate (log_u v)=? Where u and v are the function of x. Is there any method in intergration just like dy/dx=(dy/du)(du/dx) in diffrentiation?

    Can you spot the error in this integration by substitution problem?

    The question is to find the following intergal: \int x\cdot u^{\frac{1}{2} where u = 2x -1. = \int x\cdot u^{\frac{1}{2}} \;\; \frac{1}{2} du u = 2x -1 \Rightarrow x = \frac{u+1}{2} = \int \frac{1}{2}(u+1)\cdot u^{\frac{1}{2}} \;\; \frac{1}{2} du \;\; = \int \frac{1}{4}\left(...

    Calculus II Problem: Dams and intergration by slicing

    The Deligne Dam on the Cayley River is built so that the wall facing the water is shaped like the region above the curve y=0.6 x^2 and below the line y= 164 . (Here, distances are measured in meters.) The water level can be assumed to be at the top of the dam. Find the force (in Newtons) exerted...
