Evaluate the following integral:

Let us assume .....……equation 1


Let


thus



Differentiating both sides, we get,



Thus substituting old limits, we get a new upper limit and lower limit


For a = a cos θ


0 = θ


For 0 = acos θ



We know that


thus


Substituting the values in equation 1



We know that


Trigonometric identity 1 – cos2 θ = sin2 θ





.......equation 2


By property, we know that


thus



.........equation 3


Adding equation 3 and equation 2


Thus



We know






We know b and a being the upper and lower limits respectively.
