Answer

\[I=\frac{\sin^{-1}x}{2}+\frac{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}{2}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int \sqrt{1-x^2}dx\] Make a substitution $ \: x=\sin \theta\;\;\;...(1)$ \[\Rightarrow dx=\cos\theta \: d\theta\] \[I=\int \sqrt{1-\sin^2 \theta}\cos \theta\:d\theta\] \[I=\int\cos^2 \theta\:d \theta\] \[I=\int\frac{1+\cos2 \theta}{2}d \theta\] \[I=\frac{ \theta}{2}+\frac{\sin 2 \theta}{4}\] \[I=\frac{\theta}{2}+\frac{2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{4}\] Using (1) \[I=\frac{\sin^{-1}x}{2}+\frac{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}{2}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration Hence, \[I=\frac{\sin^{-1}x}{2}+\frac{x\sqrt{1-x^2}}{2}+C\]
