Solution
Newton - Leibnitz rule
dxd(∫f(x)g(x)h(x)dx)=g′(x)h(g(x))−f′(x)h(f(x))
Given that
∫0x1−(f′(t))2dt=∫0xf(t)dt
Differentiate w.r.t.x
1−(f′(x))2=f(x)
Squaring on both sides
⇒1−(f′(x))2=(f(x))2
⇒(f′(x))2=1−(f(x))2
f(x)=y⇒f′(x)=dxdy
⇒(dxdy)2=1−y2⇒dxdy=±1−y2
⇒1−y2dy=±dx
By using Variable Separable form
sin−1y=±x+c
When x=0,y=0⇒c=0.
∴sin−1y=x⇒y=sinx
Now x→0limx21∫0xsintdt
It is in the form of 00 so apply L hospital's rule
=x→0limdxd(x2)dxd[∫0xsintdt]
=21x→0limxsinx
=21
