Integral – Trig Substitution

In this post, I’ll be going through how to solve another integral, this time using trig-substitution.  As I mentioned in my u-substitution post, I’m writing this post as a reference for a future video/post about aligning torque, and I specifically needed to solve this integral.  If you would like a more neatly formatted document, you can find the attached PDF at the end of the post.  The integral we will be solving can be seen below.

(1)   \begin{equation*} \int \sqrt{1-x^2}dx \end{equation*}
