SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving a definite integral involving the arcsine function. The user correctly identified the need to substitute variables and adjust the limits of integration accordingly. The upper limit is specified as 2, while the lower limit is 2*3^(1/2)/2. Participants emphasize the importance of verifying both the substitution process and the limits to ensure accurate results in integration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of definite integrals
  • Knowledge of the arcsine function as an anti-derivative
  • Familiarity with variable substitution in integration
  • Ability to manipulate limits of integration
NEXT STEPS

i have to solve a definite integral, and i solved it up to the point where i just have to plug the numbers in, and I am sure that that equation is right, but the upper limit is 2 and the lower limit is 2*3^(1/2)/2 and they get pluged into a arcsine function.

Recheck the problem and you integration. What you describe is impossible.

Did you make a substitution to get arcsine as an anti-derivative? Did you change the limits of integration along with the change of variable?

Please state the precise problem and your work.
