integral of (x^2)/(sqrt(x^6-9))

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{6} - 9} d x

\frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{x ^{6} - 9 + x ^{3}}{3}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{6} - 9} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{3 u ^{2} - 9} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} - 9} d u

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int sec (v) d v

Use the common integral:

\int sec (v) d v = ln ∣ tan (v) + sec (v) ∣

= \frac{1}{3} ln ∣ tan (v) + sec (v) ∣

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{3} ln tan (arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x^{3})) + sec (arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x^{3}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{3} ln tan (arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x^{3})) + sec (arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x^{3})) : \frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{x ^{6} - 9 + x ^{3}}{3})

= \frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{x ^{6} - 9 + x ^{3}}{3})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} ln (\frac{x ^{6} - 9 + x ^{3}}{3}) + C
