Math Problem Statement

int [1/{(1+x^2)sqrt(1-x^2)}] dx

Solution

To solve the integral

1(1+x2)1x2dx,\int \frac{1}{(1+x^2)\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx,

we can proceed by using trigonometric substitution.

Step 1: Use the substitution

Let x=sinθx = \sin \theta. Then, dx=cosθdθdx = \cos \theta \, d\theta, and the integral becomes:

1(1+sin2θ)1sin2θcosθdθ.\int \frac{1}{(1+\sin^2 \theta)\sqrt{1-\sin^2 \theta}} \cos \theta \, d\theta.

Step 2: Simplify the expression

Since 1sin2θ=cosθ\sqrt{1 - \sin^2 \theta} = \cos \theta, the integral simplifies to:

cosθ(1+sin2θ)cosθdθ.\int \frac{\cos \theta}{(1+\sin^2 \theta)\cos \theta} \, d\theta.

This reduces further to:

11+sin2θdθ.\int \frac{1}{1 + \sin^2 \theta} \, d\theta.

Step 3: Use the Weierstrass substitution or identity

We can use the identity sin2θ=1cos(2θ)2\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1 - \cos(2\theta)}{2} to rewrite the integrand:

11+1cos(2θ)2dθ=13+cos(2θ)2dθ.\int \frac{1}{1 + \frac{1 - \cos(2\theta)}{2}} \, d\theta = \int \frac{1}{\frac{3 + \cos(2\theta)}{2}} \, d\theta.

This simplifies to:

23+cos(2θ)dθ.\int \frac{2}{3 + \cos(2\theta)} \, d\theta.

Step 4: Solve the integral

The integral 1a+bcos(2θ)dθ\int \frac{1}{a + b\cos(2\theta)} \, d\theta is a standard form. Using the formula:

[ \int \frac{d
