How to integrate without trigonometric substitution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on integrating the function S(x²(1-x²)¹/²)dx without using trigonometric substitution. The user presents a solution involving the substitution x = sin(t) and explores the integration process, ultimately arriving at the expression 1/8arcsin(x) + 1/8x(1-x²)¹/² - 1/4x³(1-x²)¹/² + C. The conversation also highlights the challenges of proving the derivative of the resulting expression equals the original integrand, emphasizing the complexity of integration techniques without substitution.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of integral calculus and integration techniques
  • Familiarity with trigonometric identities and their applications
  • Knowledge of substitution methods in integration
  • Experience with integration by parts and tabular integration
NEXT STEPS

  • Research the properties and applications of arcsin in calculus
  • Study the proof of derivatives for complex integrals
  • Investigate alternative methods for integrating functions involving square roots
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those studying calculus and integration techniques, as well as educators seeking to enhance their understanding of non-traditional integration methods.

S(x²(1-x²)¹/²)dx
without use x=sen(T)?

Sx^2(1-x^2)^1/2dx

x=sen(t)
dx=cos(t)dt (-pi/2<=t<=pi/2)

S(x^2(1-x^2)^1/2)dx=S(sen^2(t)cos^2(t))dt
S(sen^2(t)cos^2(t)^)dt=S((1-cos^2(2t))/4)dt
=S1/4dt - S((co^2(2t))/4)dt= t + c1 - S((1-cos(4t))/8)dt
=t/4 + c1 - S1/8dt + S(cos(4t)/8)dt= t/4 + c1 - t/8 + sen(4t)/32 + c2
=t/8 + sen(4t)/32 + C
but:
sen(4t)=2sen(2t)cos(2t)=2(2sentcost)(1-2sen^2(t))
=4sentcost-8sen^3(t)cost

and t=arcsen(x)

logo
Sx^2(1-x^2)^1/2dx= 1/8arcsen(x)+ 1/8x(1-x^2)^1/2 - 1/4x^3(1-x^2)^1/2 + C

but show that D(1/8arcsen(x)+ 1/8x(1-x^2)^1/2 - 1/4x^3(1-x^2)^1/2 + C)=x^2(1-x^2)^1/2 is another history!is a very hard work? someone agree with me?

Why without substitution?

Anyways, what approaches have you tried so far? Have you tried any substitutions? What were the results? Have you tried integration by parts? Have you tried something else?
 
You could use tabular integration (which is a form of integration by parts).

The only problem in that method would be integrating (1 - x2)1/2dx
