integral of 3/(x^2+9)

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

arctan (\frac{x}{3}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{3 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{3}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3})

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{x}{3}) : arctan (\frac{x}{3})

= arctan (\frac{x}{3})

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (\frac{x}{3}) + C
