Question

I = $\int\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} dx$ is

The correct answer is
0.5 [$x\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} + a^2\sin^{-1} (\frac{x}{a})]$

The question asks for the value of the integral $I = \int\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} \, dx$. This is a standard integral form in calculus.

Integral Formula Application

The standard formula for integrating a function of the form $\sqrt{a^2 - x^2}$ is:

$ \int \sqrt{a^2 - x^2} \, dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + \frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) + C $

Where $C$ is the constant of integration.

Result Comparison

We can rewrite the formula by factoring out $0.5$ (which is equivalent to dividing by 2):

$ 0.5 \left[ x\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} + a^2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right) \right] + C $

Comparing this result with the given options:

  • Option 1: $0.5 [\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} + \sin^{-1} (\frac{x}{a})]$
  • Option 2: $0.5 [x\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + \sin^{-1} (\frac{x}{a})]$
  • Option 3: $0.5 [\sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + a^2 \sin^{-1} (\frac{x}{a})]$
  • Option 4: $0.5 [x\sqrt{a^2 – x^2} + a^2\sin^{-1} (\frac{x}{a})]$

The derived formula perfectly matches Option 4.
