Answer

$$ \int \frac{x^{2}}{\left(4-x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} d x= \frac{x}{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+C $$ $C$ is constant.

Work Step by Step

$$ \int \frac{x^{2}}{\left(4-x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} d x $$ $$ \text { Let } x=2 \sin \theta \Rightarrow\left(4-x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}=(2 \cos \theta)^{3}, d x=2 \cos \theta d \theta, $$ so $$ \begin{aligned} \int \frac{x^{2}}{\left(4-x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} d x & =\int \frac{4 \sin ^{2} \theta}{8 \cos ^{3} \theta} 2 \cos \theta d \theta \\ &=\int \tan ^{2} \theta d \theta\\ &= \int (\sec ^{2} \theta -1) d \theta \\ &= \tan \theta-\theta+C \\ &= \frac{x}{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+C \end{aligned} $$ $C$ is constant.
