integral of 2/(xsqrt(x^2-9))

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

\frac{2}{3} arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1 \cdot arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x)

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot 1 \cdot arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x) : \frac{2}{3} arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x)

= \frac{2}{3} arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{3} arcsec (\frac{1}{3} x) + C
