Thread: Trig substitution (just checking)

I'm pretty sure i can do this i just want to make sure....thanx

using trig substitution solve the following:

The integral of sqrt(1-x) / sqrt(x)

Trig substitution? Then maybe you mean sqrt(1 -x^2) for the numerator?

The answer to this problem is

to qbk21 what does that mean and how did you get it? My problem is i'm not sure i'm doing the integral correctly and your answer doesn't make sense.

Also it is sqrt(1-x)

Here is what to do.

Let t=sqrt(x) then, the integral becomes,

2*INT sqrt(1-t^2)dt

To do this with trigonometric substitution, use,
u=asin(t)
To get the answer.

Is my way of doing it correct PerfectHacker?
