Step-by-Step Verified Solution

I=∫012x2(1−x2)32dxI = \int\limits_0^{{1 \over 2}} {{{{x^2}} \over {{{(1 - {x^2})}^{{3 \over 2}}}}}} dx

Let x=sin⁡θx = \sin \theta

⇒dx=cos⁡θdθ\Rightarrow dx = \cos \theta d\theta

When x = 0 then sin θ\theta = 0 ⇒\Rightarrow θ\theta = 0

When x=12x = {1 \over 2} then sin⁡θ=12\sin \theta = {1 \over 2} ⇒\Rightarrow θ=π6\theta = {\pi \over 6}

∴\therefore I=∫0π6sin⁡2θ(cos⁡2θ)32cos⁡θdθI = \int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 6}} {{{{{\sin }^2}\theta } \over {{{({{\cos }^2}\theta )}^{{3 \over 2}}}}}\cos \theta d\theta }

=∫0π6sin⁡2θcos⁡2θdθ= \int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 6}} {{{{{\sin }^2}\theta } \over {{{\cos }^2}\theta }}d\theta }

=∫0π6tan⁡2dθ=∫0π6(sec⁡2θ−1)dθ= \int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 6}} {{{\tan }^2}d\theta } = \int\limits_0^{{\pi \over 6}} {({{\sec }^2}\theta - 1)d\theta }

=[tan⁡θ−θ]0π6= \left[ {\tan \theta - \theta } \right]_0^{{\pi \over 6}}

=13−π6= {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }} - {\pi \over 6}

Given, k6=13−π6=23−π6{k \over 6} = {1 \over {\sqrt 3 }} - {\pi \over 6} = {{2\sqrt 3 - \pi } \over 6}

⇒k=23−π\Rightarrow k = 2\sqrt 3 - \pi
