![(1) y=(√(1−x^2 )) is the upper half of the circle with center ((0),(0) ) and radius r=1 ⇒ the integral is half of the circle area =(1/2)r^2 π=(π/2) (2) ∫(√(1−x^2 ))dx= [t=arcsin x → dx=(√(1−x^2 ))dt] =∫cos^2 t dt=(1/2)(t+sin t cos t)= =(1/2)(x(√(1−x^2 ))+arcsin x) +C ⇒ the integral is (π/2)](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q77475.png)
