`int u sqrt(1 - u^2) du` Evaluate the indefinite integral.

You need to
use the following substitution  `1 - u^2 = t` , such that:

`1 - u^2 = t=>
-2udu = dt=>u du = -(dt)/2`

`int u*sqrt(1 - u^2) du = -(1/2)*int sqrt t
dt`

`-(1/2)*int sqrt t dt = (-1/2)*(t^(3/2))/(3/2) + c`


Replacing back `1 - u^2` for t yields:

`int u*sqrt(1 - u^2) du =
(-1/3)*((1 - u^2)^(3/2)) + c`

Hence, evaluating the indefinite
integral, yields` int u*sqrt(1 - u^2) du = -((1 - u^2)^(3/2))/3 + c`
