Given integral sqrt (1-4x^2 )dx, how would you answer the question?
substitute 2x = sin theta
x = 1/2 sin theta
dx = 1/2 cos theta
By formula, I get integral sqrt. (1-sin^2 theta) dx
then which is integral cos theta dx ? Do I sub in dx = 1/2 cos theta ?
If so, 1/2 integral cos^2 theta is what I get...yet I'm pretty certain that I'm not going about this in the right way.
Thank you for answering.
