\n" ); document.write( "Here is a page discussing various trig substitution rules
\n" ); document.write( "https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/TrigSubstitutions.aspx\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rule we'll use specifically is
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28a%2Fb%29%2Asin%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is in the blue box underneath example 4 on that web link I posted.
\n" ); document.write( "Notice this rule corresponds to the template \"sqrt%28a%5E2-b%5E2%2Ax%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case a = 4 and b = 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28a%2Fb%29%2Asin%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%284%2F1%29%2Asin%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4%2Asin%28theta%29\" Let's call this equation (1) to use later.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( "\"16-x%5E2+=+16+-+%284%2Asin%28theta%29%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16-x%5E2+=+16+-+16%2Asin%5E2%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16-x%5E2+=+16%281+-+sin%5E2%28theta%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16-x%5E2+=+16%2Acos%5E2%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2816-x%5E2%29+=+sqrt%28+16%2Acos%5E2%28theta%29+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%2816-x%5E2%29+=+4%2Acos%28theta%29\" Let's call this equation (2) to use later.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4%2Asin%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"dx%2Fdtheta+=+4%2Acos%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"dx+=+4%2Acos%28theta%29%2Adtheta\" Let's call this equation (3) to use later.
\n" ); document.write( "Replace any mention of \"dtheta\" with \"d%2Atheta\", but there won't be a dot between the d and theta. I couldn't get it to format properly.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's apply those items into the integral we want to evaluate.
\n" ); document.write( "\"int%28+3x%5E3%2Asqrt%2816-x%5E2%29%2C+dx+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= Each red box represents a thing we'll replace in the next line.
\n" ); document.write( "= Substitute in equations (1), (2), and (3).
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "= \"3072%2Aint%28+sin%5E3%28theta%29%2Acos%5E2%28theta%29%2Adtheta%2C+%22%22+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "= \"3072%2Aint%28+%281-u%5E2%29%2Au%5E2%2A%28-du%29%2C+%22%22+%29\" Let u = cos(theta), which means du = -sin(theta)*dtheta and sin(theta)*dtheta = -du
\n" ); document.write( "= \"3072%2Aint%28+%28u%5E4-u%5E2%29%2C+du+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"3072%2A%28%28u%5E5%29%2F5+-+%28u%5E3%29%2F3%29%2BC\" Don't forget about the plus C. I've seen many students make this error.
\n" ); document.write( "= \"3072%28%28u%5E3%29%2F15%29%2A%283u%5E2+-+5%29%2BC\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From here you'll need to replace each \"u\" with an expression of x.
\n" ); document.write( "Recall that \"u+=+cos%28theta%29\" and \"sqrt%2816-x%5E2%29+=+4%2Acos%28theta%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Which would mean \"cos%28theta%29+=+%281%2F4%29%2Asqrt%2816-x%5E2%29\" and \"u+=+%281%2F4%29%2Asqrt%2816-x%5E2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'll let the student take over from here. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You should arrive at the final answer of \"%28-1%2F5%29%2A%2816-x%5E2%29%5E%28%223%2F2%22%29%2A%283x%5E2%2B32%29%2BC\" or some equivalent variation of this. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can use various online calculators (eg: WolframAlpha or GeoGebra) to confirm the answer.
\n" ); document.write( "Here's what it looks like when using WolframAlpha
\n" ); document.write( "https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=int%28+3x%5E3*sqrt%2816-x%5E2%29%2C+dx+%29
\n" ); document.write( "The input typed in was int( 3x^3*sqrt(16-x^2), dx ) or you could do integral( 3x^3*sqrt(16-x^2), dx )\r
