Help in integration?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits\limits_{}^{}\frac{ dy }{ \sqrt{y} (9-y) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I let \[t= \sqrt{y} \] then \[t ^{2}= y\] and \[dy= 2tdt\] Substituting these to the original integral, I will have \[\int\limits\limits_{}^{}\frac{ 2tdt }{ t (9-t ^{2}) }\] How can I integrate this?

sam (.sam.):

Wait, from \(t=\sqrt{y}\), \[dt=\frac{1}{2\sqrt y }dy \\ \\ 2dt=\frac{1}{\sqrt y } dy\] You get \[=2 \int\limits \frac{1}{9-t^2} \, dt\]

sam (.sam.):

Looks like you need trig substitution for that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, I can now use the inverse one. And yes, I should have computed for the dt not the dy! Thanks!

sam (.sam.):

alright, yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. But there is no square root below. Can I use the inverse formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u= y^(1/2)

sam (.sam.):

You can do it like this, \[\frac{2}{9} \int\limits \frac{1}{1-\frac{t^2}{9}} \, dt \\ \\ \] Let \[h=\frac{t}{3} \\ \\ dh=\frac{1}{3}dt\] \[\frac{2}{3} \int\limits \frac{1}{1-h^2} \, dh\] Integrate that you get hyperbolic function \[\frac{2}{3}\tanh^{-1}(h)+c\]
