Given:

There are given that the integral:


\int_(-8)^8√(64-x^2)dx

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given integral;


\int_(-8)^8√(64-x^2)dx

Now,

Apply the trigonometry rule that is:


\int_(-a)^a√(b-x^2)dx=\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}bcos^2(u)du

Then,

From the function:


\int_(-8)^8√(64-x^2)dx=\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}64cos^2udu

Then,

Take the constant out:

So,


\begin{gathered} \int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}64cos^2udu=64\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}cos^2udu \\ =64\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}(1+cos2u)/(2)du \\ =(64)/(2)\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}1+cos2udu \end{gathered}

Then,


\begin{gathered} (64)/(2)\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}1+cos2udu=32\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}1du+\int_{-(\pi)/(2)}^{(\pi)/(2)}cos2udu \\ =32(\pi+0) \\ =32\pi \end{gathered}

Final answer:;

Hence, the correct option is C.
