Handout 7 Intecal PDF

This document provides an overview of trigonometric substitutions that can be used to solve integrals involving square roots. It explains that integrals of the form a2 - x2, a2 + x2, and x2 - a2, where a is a constant, can be solved using the trigonometric substitutions: 1) x = a sinθ for a2 - x2 2) x = a tanθ for a2 + x2 3) x = a secθ for x2 - a2 It then gives examples of applying each substitution to solve sample integrals. Finally, it provides a problem set with 10 integrals to solve using trigonometric substitutions.

Trigonometric Substitutions:

Integrals involving square roots such as a 2  x 2 , a 2  x 2 and x 2  a 2 where a is constant can be


solved by using trigonometric substitutions. These substitutions are as follows:
1. x  a sin  for integrals with a2  x2 ,
2. x  a tan  for integrals with a2  x2
3. x  a sec for integrals with x2  a2
