integral from-a to a of x^2sqrt(a^2-x^2)

\int_{- a}^{a} x^{2} a^{2} - x^{2} d x

\frac{π}{8} a^{4}

Solution steps

\int_{- a}^{a} x^{2} a^{2} - x^{2} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} a^{4} sin^{2} (u) cos^{2} (u) d u

Take the constant out:

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

= a^{4} \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (u) cos^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= a^{4} \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 - cos ( 4 u )}{8} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= a^{4} \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 - cos (4 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

= a^{4} \frac{1}{8} (\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u - \int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (4 u) d u)

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u = π

\int_{- \frac{π}{2}}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (4 u) d u = 0

= a^{4} \frac{1}{8} (π - 0)

Simplify

a^{4} \frac{1}{8} (π - 0) : \frac{π}{8} a^{4}

= \frac{π}{8} a^{4}
