Question
Evaluate the following integrals:$\int^\limits{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{a}-\text{x}}{\text{a}+\text{x}}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{x}=\text{a}\cos2\theta$ Differentiating w.r.t. x, we get$\text{dx}=-2\text{a}\sin2\theta$
Now, $\text{x}=-\text{a}\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$$\text{x}=\text{a}\Rightarrow\theta=0$
$\therefore\ \int^\limits{\text{a}}_{-\text{a}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{a}-\text{x}}{\text{a}+\text{x}}}\text{ dx}=\int^\limits0_\frac{\pi}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\text{a}(1-\cos2\theta)}{\text{a}\big(1+\cos2\theta)}}(-2\sin2\theta\big)\text{d}\theta$
$=2\text{a}\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{\text{2}}}_{0}\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}\cdot\sin2\theta\text{ d}\theta$ $\begin{bmatrix}\because1-\cos2\theta=2\sin^2\theta\\1+\cos2\theta=2\cos^2\theta\\-\int^\limits\text{b}_\text{a}\text{f(x)}\text{dx}=\int^\limits\text{a}_\text{b}\text{f}(\text{x})\text{dx} \end{bmatrix}$
$=2\text{a}\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{\text{2}}}_{0}\frac{\sin\theta\cdot2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{\cos\theta}$
$=4\text{a}\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{\text{2}}}_{0}\sin^{2}\theta\text{ d}\theta$
$=2\text{a}\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{\text{2}}}_{0}\big(1-\cos2\theta\big)\text{d}\theta$
$=2\text{a}\Big[\theta-\frac{\sin2\theta}{2}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0$
$=2\text{a}\Big[\frac{\pi}{2}-0-0+0\Big]$
$=\pi\text{a}$
