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

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

- a - x^{2} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \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

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

Apply the Power Rule

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

Substitute back

u = a - x^{2}

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

Simplify

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

= - a - x^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= - a - x^{2} + C
