How to calculate this integral when the function is unknown? Let f:[0,1]->RR with f'(x) = sqrt(1+f^2(x)) for all x in [0,1] . If f(0)+f(1)=0, calculate the integral I=int_(0)^(1)f(x)dx Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

How to calculate this integral when the function is unknown?
Let f : [ 0 , 1 ] R with f ( x ) = 1 + f 2 ( x ) for all x [ 0 , 1 ]. If f ( 0 ) + f ( 1 ) = 0 , calculate the integral
I = 0 1 f ( x ) d x
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Step I) f is a real valued function, thus, for all x [ 0 , 1 ],
Step II) Evaluate the definite integral
0 1 f ( x ) d x = 0 1 f ( x ) f ( x ) 1 + f ( x ) 2 d x
Step III) Note that the integrand is the derivative of 1 + f ( x ) 2
