Rom could you check this please.
I do not know thise off by heart, I have to work them out every time
Ifθ=acos(x)thenfinddθdx x=cosθdxdθ=−sinθ
Now we know that cos(theta) =x
so I draw a right angled triangle where this is true.
adjacent=x hypotenuse=1 opposite=√1−x2
dxdθ=−sinθdθdx=−1√1−x2
So it seems to me that
∫−[1√1−x2] dx=arccos(x)+c
Wolfram|alpha seems to agree with me.
