Preserved Topic: Intergals.com again - help reading symbol/font (Page 1 of 1)

Hello,

As I'm trying to integrate this:

Sqrt[b^2-a^2 x^2]

I get a result which has a peculiar symbol that I can't recognize...
it is not Pi , what is it then?

can someone help please?

I know to solve it via Trigo. Substitution (which will yield a result with Sin Inverse (ArcSin)...but that Integrator give me an exciting output that i care to discuss w/ my math teacher.

Thanks.

ehh i don't get this is it sqrt[b^2-a^2+x^2]
Then it is b-a+x

Looks to me like the letter i, as in sqrt(-1). Sorta weird though.

Intergals?
Isn't that an intergalactic porn site?
what?
integrals?
oh...
nevermind.

Alien porn...I don't even want to think about that

Xdream, I'm not talking about the input integral itself!!

i'm talking about the result!!

type the integral I gave and then enlarge me / tell me what that peculiar symbol in the result is!!!


lallous!

*rofl*...sorry I missunderstood you absolutly.

What peculiar symbol in the reuslt?

Koan 63, written on the wall of cell number 250:
Those who Believe
Can
Those who Try
Do
Those who Love
Live

i think you mean this?

afaik, this is the special number i.
which is the root of minus 1 or so. im sure slime knows a lot more about this!

yes, grumble that symbol you highlighted!

but it doesn't look like the complex number 'i' ?!

yes, Slime or anyone plz help!

but it probably is it! because if they would write it normal, there wouldnt be a difference to the normal variable i.
