SUMMARY

The integral $$\int_{0}^{\frac{-a}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{392-{a}^{2}}}{2}} {y}^{2}\arcsin\left({\frac{a+y}{\sqrt{196-{y}^{2}}}}\right)\,dy$$ can be evaluated numerically using GNU Octave and PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0. In GNU Octave, the function is defined as f = @(a, y) y^2 * asin((a + y) / (sqrt(196 - y^2))), and numerical integration is performed using the quad function. Users can visualize the results with the plot function, while PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 allows for straightforward algebraic interpretation of the integral.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with numerical integration techniques
  • Basic understanding of the arcsine function
  • Experience with GNU Octave or PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0

Thanks very much. Could you tell me which software did you use to express this curve? Is there a formula for this curve. Thanks again for your help.

Hi zhaojx84, welcome to MHB! (Wave)

In GNU Octave, the free version of MatLab, we can do:
Code:
f = @(a, y) y^2 * asin((a + y) / (sqrt(196 - y^2)));
g = @(a) quad(@(y) f(a, y), 0, (-a / 2 + (sqrt(392 - a^2)) / 2));
x = -11:0.2:14;
y = arrayfun(g, x);
plot(x, y);

In Octave Online, we can quickly see what it does.

I used PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0

It required pretty much what you see. Just type in what you want. The algebraic interpretation is provided.
