recall that the integral of 1/(t^+1) = inverse tan of t
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ 1+t^2 } = \tan ^{-1}t\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
need to make the denominator look like that
OpenStudy (danjs):
let the denominator go to this ---
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ 9[\frac{x^2 }{ 9 } + 1] }\]

=
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 9 } \int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ (\frac{ x }{ 3 })^2 + 1 }\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
let u = x/3
du = (1/3)dx or dx = 3du
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 9 } \int\limits \frac{ 1 }{ u^2 + 1 } (3* du)\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \tan ^{-1}(u)\]
OpenStudy (danjs):
sub back in u = x/3

get it all?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why did you remove x/3 for u?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well more like how. I understand why so you can make the equation equal to arctan, but how can you just randomly replace u for x/3
OpenStudy (danjs):
It is a substitution, If is ok if you change the integration to be over du, which is 1/3 dx
