This can be written ∫[3,7]((∜(4-(x-5)²)dx) or 2∫[3,5]((∜(4-(x-5)²)dx) (because of symmetry around x=5) where square brackets denote the high and low limits for the definite integration. Let x-5=2sinθ, then dx=2cosθdθ and limits for θ become [-π/2,π/2].

[(x-3)(7-x)=-x²+10x-21=-x²+10x-21=4-x²+10x-25=4-(x-5)². When x=3, 2sinθ=-2, θ=-π/2, when x=7, 2sinθ=2, θ=π/2. ∜(4-(x-5)²)=∜(4cos²θ)=√(2cosθ) and we substitute for dx.]

We now have the integral 2√2∫[-π/2,π/2]((cosθ)^(3/2)dθ).

The curve for the integrand is symmetrical about the vertical axis so the integral can be written: 4√2∫[0,π/2]((cosθ)^(3/2)dθ).

I don’t know how to integrate this function, so since we have a definite integral I have treated the integration as the area under a curve. This area I divided into narrow rectangles of height f(θ) (the function in the integrand) and width ∆θ. The sum of the areas is an approximation of the integral. I have shown some of the calculations below:

I chose ∆θ=0.01. The integral has the approximate value 4√2×0.879=4.97. A closer approximation to 2 decimal places is 4.95. The same result is achieved using the original integral.

As this site does not support latex, math functions are really problematic to read.

Sir, could you please share your work on a page & post the screenshot .

Thank you

Apologies for the inconvenience. Here are screenshots of part of the solution.

The columns of the table are labelled: theta, cos theta to the power of 3/2, delta theta, delta theta times cos theta to the power of 3/2. The table showed the first set of calculations and the last set only because the website limits the number of photo uploads.
