The integral of a function's square root

97 Views Asked by At

Let's take a known polynomial function $f$, which is positive bounded in $[a,b]$. If I know $\int_a^bf(x)dx$, can I calculate or at least estimate $\int_a^b\sqrt{f(x)}dx$? Is it possible to calculate $\int_0^a\sqrt{(b^2-x^2)(a^2-x^2)}dx$?
