Solution and Explanation

Let\(I = \int \sqrt{4-x^2}dx = \int \sqrt{(2)^2-(x)^2}dx\)

It is known that,\(\int \sqrt {a^2-x^2}dx = \frac{x}{2} \sqrt {a^2-x^2} \frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{x}+C\)

\(I = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}+\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}\ \frac{x}{2}+C\)

=\(\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2}+2\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+C\)

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
