integral of 1/(x^2sqrt(9-x^2))

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} 9 - x ^{2}} d x

- \frac{9 - x ^{2}}{9 x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} 9 - x ^{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{cot ( u )}{9 cos ( u ) sin ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{9} \cdot \int \frac{cot ( u )}{cos ( u ) sin ( u )} d u

Simplify

\frac{cot ( u )}{cos ( u ) sin ( u )} : csc^{2} (u)

= \frac{1}{9} \cdot \int csc^{2} (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int csc^{2} (u) d u = - cot (u)

= \frac{1}{9} (- cot (u))

Substitute back

u = arcsin (\frac{1}{3} x)

= \frac{1}{9} (- cot (arcsin (\frac{1}{3} x)))

Simplify

\frac{1}{9} (- cot (arcsin (\frac{1}{3} x))) : - \frac{9 - x ^{2}}{9 x}

= - \frac{9 - x ^{2}}{9 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{9 - x ^{2}}{9 x} + C
