How to solve an equations with online Mathematica

Posted 4 years ago

Hello my people!

I am new to Mathematica.

( Probably in a notebook)... Please demonstrate how you solve this equation, and do an integration, and evaluate.

First I need to find what x equals in this equation of mine:

-1/4 Sqrt[ 2 - 2/Sqrt5 ] + Sqrt[ 1 - [ x + 1/4 ( 1 +Sqrt5 ) ]^2 ] = x Sqrt[ 1 + 2/Sqrt5 ]

Then integrate:

-1/4 Sqrt[ 2 - 2/Sqrt5 ] + Sqrt[ 1 - [ x + 1/4 ( 1 +Sqrt5 ) ]^2 ] - x Sqrt[ 1 + 2/Sqrt5 ]

Then evaluate from x=0 to the solved x-value.

I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

I think the real answer is in terms of Pi.

Not to diss your work, but this seems either wrong or not simplified.

Please help more.

As I said

Please make sure I have fixed them correctly.

Did you verify that the expressions are correctly parenthesized and Sqrt5 should be Sqrt[5]?

I did find something interesting. If I first evaluate

Integrate[lhs, {x, -2, 2}]

and then evaluate

Integrate[lhs, {x, 0, xSol}]

The result is a simpler expression that is numerically equivalent

(* 1/240 (-3 Sqrt[5 (35 - 13 Sqrt[5] + Sqrt[30 (65 - 29 Sqrt[5])])] + 8 π) *)

This odd behavior is reproducible (at least for me on "12.3.1 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (June 19, 2021)"). I will report it to Wolfram support.
