If $\int \frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{x^{4}} d x=A(\mathrm{x})\left(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)^{m}+C,$ for a suitable chosen integer $\mathrm{m}$ and a function $\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x})$, where $\mathrm{C}$ is a constant of integration, then $(\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}))^{\mathrm{m}}$ equals :
  1. $\frac{-1}{27 x^{9}}$
  2. $\frac{-1}{3 x^{3}}$
  3. $\frac{1}{27 x^{6}}$
  4. $\frac{1}{9 x^{4}}$

Solution

$A(x)\left(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)^{m}+C=\int \frac{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{x^{4}} d x$ $=\int \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1}{x^{2}}-1}}{x^{3}} d x$ Let $\frac{1}{x^{2}}-1=u^{2}$ $\Rightarrow-\frac{2}{x^{3}}=\frac{2 u d u}{d x}$ $\frac{d x}{x^{3}}=-u d u$ $A(x)\left(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)^{m}+C=\int\left(-u^{2}\right) d u=-\frac{u^{3}}{3}+C$ $\begin{array}{l} =-\frac{1}{3}\left(\frac{1}{x^{2}}-1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C \\ =-\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{x^{3}} \cdot\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C \\ =\frac{-1}{3 x^{3}}\left(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\right)^{3}+C \end{array}$ Compare both sides, $\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow A(x)=-\frac{1}{3 x^{3}} \text { and } m=3 \\ \Rightarrow(A(x))^{3}=\frac{-1}{27 x^{9}} \end{array}$
