Answer

$0.108$

Work Step by Step

$\int_{3}^{6}\frac{1}{25+(x-3)^{2}}dx$ Notice that the denominator $25+(x-3)^{2}$ is similar to $arctan$. To solve this integral, use the formula to solve to $arctan$: $\int\frac{du}{a^{2}+u^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}arctan(\frac{u}{a})+C$ $u=x-3$ $du=dx$ $a=5$ $[\frac{1}{5}arctan(\frac{x-3}{5})]_{3}^{6}$ $\frac{1}{5}[arctan(\frac{6-3}{5})-arctan\frac{3-3}{5}$ $\frac{1}{5}[arctan\frac{3}{5}-arctan0]$ $\approx0.108$
