i got stuck on integral 3tantheta *secthetatantheta/3sectheta
OpenStudy (amistre64):
if u = sqrt(x^2-9)
du = 2x/2sqrt(x^2-9) dx
seems like things simplify to me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is using trig sub

\[\int\limits \sqrt{x^2-9}/(x)~dx\]
\[\int\limits u~2\sqrt{x^2-9}/(x^2)~dx\]
\[\int\limits 2u^2/(\sqrt u-9)~dx\]
what trig sub did you try?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
using the chain rule d/du=sin((e^u)(u^2))=dsinu/du where u=e^u(u^2)

x=3secTHETA dx = 3secTHETAtanTHETA
OpenStudy (amistre64):
sin^2 - 1 = -cos^2
cos^2 - 1 = -sin^2
tan^2 = sec^2 - 1
all come to mind for the -1 part
