Q. Evaluate the integral and express your answer in simplest form.∫1−25x2−2dxAnswer:
Recognize Integral Form: We are given the integral: ∫1−25x2−2dxTo solve this integral, we recognize that it resembles the derivative of the arcsine function, where the integral of 1−u21du is arcsin(u)+C. We will use a substitution to transform the integral into this form.Let u=5x, then dxdu=5 and dx=5du.
Perform Substitution: Substitute u=5x and dx=5du into the integral:∫1−25x2−2dx=∫1−u2−2(5du)Simplify the integral:=5−2×∫1−u21duNow the integral is in the form of the derivative of arcsin(u).
Simplify Integral: Evaluate the integral:−52∫1−u21du=−52arcsin(u)+CReplace u with 5x to return to the original variable:=−52arcsin(5x)+CThis is the simplest form of the antiderivative.
