integral of (-2x)/(sqrt(1-x^2))

\int \frac{- 2 x}{1 - x ^{2}} d x

2 1 - x^{2} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 2 x}{1 - x ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 \cdot \int \frac{x}{1 - x ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 2 \cdot \int - \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

Apply the Power Rule

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 u^{\frac{1}{2}})

Substitute back

u = 1 - x^{2}

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (1 - x^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}})

Simplify

- 2 (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 (1 - x^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}) : 2 1 - x^{2}

= 2 1 - x^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 1 - x^{2} + C
