Homework Statement


Help! I was wondering if anyone can help me integrate:

∫ x^2tan x + y^3 +4 dA, where D is the region represented by D = {(x,y)|x2+y2≤2}


Homework Equations


I think that the area is symmetric, and so basically you only need to evalute from 0≤ x ≤ √(2-y^2) and 0≤ y ≤ √2. Or you can do x first and evaluate it from 0 ≤ y ≤ √ (1-x^2) and 0≤ x ≤ √2. But I'm not sure how to evaluate x^2 tan x? I don't think doing dy first will help either since I get the following: x^2*√ (1-x^2)*tan x? Thanks!

I've been playing around with this, and I think I've made some progress.

Integrate the first term in the integrand with respect to x first. Do it by parts with u=x \tan(x) and dv=x dx. You should be able to express the integral in terms of \int x^3\sec^2(x)dx. Integrate that by parts with u=x^3 and dv=sec^2(x)dx.

Give that a try and see how it goes. I haven't finished it yet, but it looks like it will work.

This is, of course, the same as
\int x^2 tan x dA+ \int y^3 dA+ \int 4 dA
Yes, the region D= {(x,y)| x^2+ y^2\le 2} is a circle and so is symmetric. But why do you then say you need only integrate in the first quadrant? x2tan x and y3 are both ODD functions. Their integrals on opposite sides of the axes will cancel, not add. It looks to me like this is just \int 4 dA or just 4 times the area of the circle.
 
Oh I see! Thanks!
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
