it's Clara. So when you read here, So here, we're gonna find that exactly. We're gonna first start with the derivative. And we got negative two acts over one minus x square. We're gonna use this on plug it into our our Klink equation Square root of one plus negative to X over one minus x square square. When we factor this out we got four x square all over one minus two X square less x to the fourth when we're gonna make one bye. Using a common denominator two X square, it was four x because X to the fore. Excuse me one minus two X square plus X to the fourth. And when we add and simplify, this part becomes from zero to wouldn't have one plus x square over one minus x squared DX. Because we're taking this square root off the integral. We're gonna defy the top and bottom. Using long division in this equals from 0 to 1/2 negative one plus two over one minus x squared d x and we're going to use partial fractions. So a over one plus tax must be over one minus X or finding A and B and we get a to be one be to be one. So it becomes negative X plus from 0 to 1/2 one over one plus x plus one over one minus x the ex. When we just integrate this, we got negative one have plus Helton of three.
