1 These are in the same form. We can use right triangles and the pythagorean theorem to simplify some problems.
1 We can use right triangles and the pythagorean theorem to simplify some problems. This is a constant.
If the integral contains , we use the triangle at right. If we need , we move a to the hypotenuse. If we need , we move x to the hypotenuse. This method is called Trigonometric Substitution.

2 double angle formula
We can get into the necessary form by completing the square. 5
6 Complete the square:
Here are a couple of shortcuts that are result from Trigonometric Substitution: These are on your list of formulas. They are not really new. p
