integral of sqrt(1-t^2)

\int 1 - t^{2} d t

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

Solution steps

\int 1 - t^{2} d t

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \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

= \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

= \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)

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

Substitute back

u = arcsin (t)

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

Add a constant to the solution

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