To evaluate the definite integral geometrically, recognize that the integrand represents the upper semicircle of a circle centered at the origin with radius 3. Because the function is nonnegative and continuous on the interval , the definite integral equals the ordinary geometric area of this shaded region.
Conditions: The integrand is and the limits of integration are -3 and 3.; The square root denotes the principal (nonnegative) root, restricting the graph to .; The function is continuous and nonnegative on the closed interval , ensuring the definite integral equals the ordinary area under the curve.
