integral from 0 to 1 of x^2*sqrt(1-x^2)

\int_{0}^{1} x^{2} \cdot 1 - x^{2} d x

\frac{π}{16}

Decimal

0.19634 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x^{2} 1 - x^{2} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} sin^{2} (u) cos^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} \frac{1 - cos ( 4 u )}{8} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 - cos (4 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}{8} (\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u - \int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (4 u) d u)

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} 1 d u = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{0}^{\frac{π}{2}} cos (4 u) d u = 0

= \frac{1}{8} (\frac{π}{2} - 0)

Simplify

\frac{1}{8} (\frac{π}{2} - 0) : \frac{π}{16}

= \frac{π}{16}
