In nding the area of a circle or an ellipse, an integral of the form x sa 2 x 2 dx arises, where a 0. If it were x x sa 2 x 2 dx, the substitution u a 2 x 2 would be effective but, as it stands, x sa 2 x 2 dx is more difcult. If we change the variable from x to by the substitution x a sin , then the identity 1 sin 2 cos 2 allows us to get rid of the root sign because sa 2 x 2 sa 2 a 2 sin 2 sa 21 sin 2 sa 2 cos 2 a cos
Notice the difference between the substitution u a 2 x 2 (in which the new variable is a function of the old one) and the substitution x a sin (the old variable is a function of the new one). In general we can make a substitution of the form x tt by using the Substitution Rule in reverse. To make our calculations simpler, we assume that t has an inverse function; that is, t is one-to-one. In this case, if we replace u by x and x by t in the Substitution Rule (Equation 5.5.4), we obtain
y f x dx y f tttt dt
This kind of substitution is called inverse substitution. We can make the inverse substitution x a sin provided that it denes a one-to-one function. This can be accomplished by restricting to lie in the interval 2, 2. In the following table we list trigonometric substitutions that are effective for the given radical expressions because of the specied trigonometric identities. In each case the restriction on is imposed to ensure that the function that denes the substitution is one-to-one. (These are the same intervals used in Appendix D in dening the inverse functions.)

3 x 9- FIGURE 1
Since this is an indenite integral, we must return to the original variable x. This can be done either by using trigonometric identities to express cot in terms of sin x3 or by drawing a diagram, as in Figure 1, where is interpreted as an angle of a right triangle. Since sin x3, we label the opposite side and the hypotenuse as having lengths x and 3. Then the Pythagorean Theorem gives the length of the adjacent side as s9 x 2, so we can simply read the value of cot from the gure: cot s9 x 2 x
sin =
x 3
(Although 0 in the diagram, this expression for cot is valid even when 0.) Since sin x3, we have sin1 x3 and so

Because the ellipse is symmetric with respect to both axes, the total area A is four times the area in the rst quadrant (see Figure 2). The part of the ellipse in the rst quadrant is given by the function b y sa 2 x 2 0xa a and so

To evaluate this integral we substitute x a sin . Then dx a cos d. To change the limits of integration we note that when x 0, sin 0, so 0; when x a, sin 1, so 2. Also sa 2 x 2 sa 2 a 2 sin 2 sa 2 cos 2 a cos a cos since 0 2. Therefore A4 b a

We have shown that the area of an ellipse with semiaxes a and b is ab. In particular, taking a b r, we have proved the famous formula that the area of a circle with radius r is r 2.
NOTE Since the integral in Example 2 was a denite integral, we changed the limits of integration and did not have to convert back to the original variable x.
