TopicAreas by integration
TypeArea with parametric/substitution
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward integration by substitution question with a given substitution. Students must apply the substitution u²=1-x, find dx in terms of du, change limits, and integrate a polynomial. While it requires careful algebraic manipulation, the method is standard C4 content with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average.

Use the substitution \(u ^ { 2 } = 1 - x\) to show that the area of the region bounded by the curve and the \(x\)-axis is \(\frac { 4 } { 15 }\).

The diagram shows the curve with equation $y = x \sqrt { 1 - x } , 0 \leq x \leq 1$.\\
Use the substitution $u ^ { 2 } = 1 - x$ to show that the area of the region bounded by the curve and the $x$-axis is $\frac { 4 } { 15 }$.\\
