Integrate x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] - Solve 0=0

\!\(∫x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] \[DifferentialD]x\)

I need to find the integral of
(x^2)/ Sqrt(1-(x^2))
if the above doesn't work properly
integration by parts results in 0=0 how do i do this?

You mean

\int \frac{x^{2}}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} \ dx

How about the substitution x=\sin u [/tex] and then a nice trigonometrical identity involving a double angle...?<br /> <br /> Daniel.

 

[dextercioby]

It can be done by parts,too.

Daniel.

 

[huan.conchito]

ok, i got it using x= sinU
can you give me a hint how to do it using integration by parts?

 

[Data]

Integration by parts uses

\int u \ dv = uv - \int v \ du

choose u = x and

v = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}

Edit: That should be dv = (x / \sqrt{1-x^2}) \ dx!

 

[dextercioby]

Not really,Data.U needn't specify "u" & "v",but the factors in the LHS,"u" & "dv"...

So

u=x \ \mbox{and} \ dv=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} \ dx

Daniel.

P.S.Data,u see the difference,right...?

indeed, silly me ~
