integral from 0 to 1 of x^3*sqrt(1-x^2)

\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} \cdot 1 - x^{2} d x

\frac{2}{15}

Decimal

0.13333 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} x^{3} 1 - x^{2} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{1}^{0} - \frac{( - u + 1 ) u}{2} d u

\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = - \int_{b}^{a} f (x) d x, a < b

= - \int_{0}^{1} - \frac{( - u + 1 ) 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_{0}^{1} (- u + 1) u d u)

Expand

(- u + 1) u : - u^{\frac{3}{2}} + u

= - (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{1} - u^{\frac{3}{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_{0}^{1} u^{\frac{3}{2}} d u + \int_{0}^{1} u d u))

\int_{0}^{1} u^{\frac{3}{2}} d u = \frac{2}{5}

\int_{0}^{1} u d u = \frac{2}{3}

= - (- \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{3}))

Simplify

- (- \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{5} + \frac{2}{3})) : \frac{2}{15}

= \frac{2}{15}
