TRIGONOMETRIC SUBSTITUITION√ a2 - x 2 implies x = asinθ
√ a2 + x 2 implies x = atanθ
√ x 2 - a2 implies x = asecθ
Things to remember
sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
2 2
1 + tan θ = sec θ
Thats it
lets take some examples
x3
(a) ∫ √x 2
+9
dx
from the expression we know that
√ a2 + x 2 is just the same as √ x2 + 9
then
we let x = 3tanθ (remember √ 9 =3 )
thus dx = 3sec2 θdθ
then we substitute
x3 (3tanθ)3 27tan
