Uhh, why can't you use the substitution u = 16-x^2

btw, the question is:




And then at the end it's like: "where " for some reason

Yeah sorry this is my first time using latex. The part that say "where" is the condition given. The question tells us what to let x equal to. Sory I am only in year 11 that is why i still need help for this topic.

Thanks Shadowdude.

Then the integral is simply =



Are you using x = 4sin @ as the substitution?

In future, don't link images of tex. Use 'tex' tags. [tex.] and [./tex]

remove the full stops and paste your code between them

Could you please show me step by step how to get your solution because I need to know how to do this question in order to solve the other ones.
Thanks

How did you get the part where it says -1/3 and the part of the root cubed. I did not get that in my working out. I believe I did it wrong so that is why I need the step by step solution so I can solve the other questions and see where I went wrong.

I got the same answer as Drognoski,
I just did it like a normal 3u integration. dx/dtheta, and then when x=0, theta=... etc. and then you sub your stuf in

my second last line was
64 times the integral of sin(theta)cos^(theta) d(theta) (from 0, to pi/2)

you then integrate the above, and should get you the answer.
