Solution

Substitute Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u=3x} . Then Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle du=3dx} and we have

Solution

This integral requires two different methods to evaluate it. We get to those methods by splitting up the integral:

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int \frac{4-x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\text{dx} = \int \frac{4}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\text{dx} - \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\text{dx} }

The first integral is handled straightforward; the second integral is handled by substitution, with Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle u = 16-x^2} . We handle each separately.

We have

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{align} \int\frac{x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\text{dx} = \int\frac{-\text{du} /2}{\sqrt{u}}\\ = -\frac12\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}\text{du} \\ = - \sqrt{u} + C\\ = -\sqrt{16-x^2} + C.\end{align}}

Combining these together, we have

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \int \frac{4-x}{\sqrt{16-x^2}}\text{dx} = 4\arcsin\frac x4 + \sqrt{16-x^2}+C.}
