integral of sqrt(1-(x^2)/4)

\int 1 - \frac{x ^{2}}{4} d x

arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)) + C

Solution steps

\int 1 - \frac{x ^{2}}{4} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int 2 cos^{2} (u) d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int cos^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1 + cos ( 2 u )}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 + cos (2 u) d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d u + \int cos (2 u) d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int cos (2 u) d u = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (u + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 u))

Substitute back

u = arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)))

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} (arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x))) : arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x))

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x))

Add a constant to the solution

= arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arcsin (\frac{1}{2} x)) + C
