SUMMARY

The integral of the function f(t) = sqrt(r^2 - (h*cos(t) - a*sin(t))^2) * (a*cos(t) + h*sin(t)) * (h*cos(t) - a*sin(t)) has been derived successfully. The constants r, h, and a are specified, and the resulting expression includes logarithmic and square root components. The verified solution can be computed using computer algebra software, confirming its accuracy.

Hello all,

Can you help me to derive the following integral?

f(t)=sqrt(r^2-(h*cos(t)-a*sin(t))^2)*(a*cos(t)+h*sin(t))*(h*cos(t)-a*sin(t))

Integral (f(t),t)?

Please note that r,h, and a are constant values.

Any help would be really appreciated.Thank you
Nejla

The expression looks funny - typos?
 
Hopefully this helps. It's the right answer. I checked it in my computer algebra software too.

integral sqrt(r^2-(h cos(t)-a sin(t))^2) (a cos(t)+h sin(t)) (h cos(t)-a sin(t)) dr =

1/4 (h cos(t)-a sin(t)) (a cos(t)+h sin(t)) (r sqrt(-2 (a^2+h^2-2 r^2)+2 (a^2-h^2) cos(2 t)+4 a h sin(2 t))-2 (h cos(t)-a sin(t))^2 log(2 sqrt(-2 (a^2+h^2-2 r^2)+2 (a^2-h^2) cos(2 t)+4 a h sin(2 t))+4 r))+constant
