Answer

$$ - \frac{1}{{12}}\ln \left| {\frac{{12 + \sqrt {144 - {x^2}} }}{x}} \right| + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{{dx}}{{x\sqrt {144 - {x^2}} }}} \cr & u = x,{\text{ }}du = dx,{\text{ }}a = 12 \cr & \int {\frac{{dx}}{{x\sqrt {144 - {x^2}} }}} = \int {\frac{{du}}{{u\sqrt {{a^2} - {u^2}} }}} \cr & {\text{a matching integral in a table of integrals at the end of the book is the }} \cr & {\text{formula 62}} \cr & \int {\frac{{du}}{{u\sqrt {{a^2} - {u^2}} }}} = - \frac{1}{a}\ln \left| {\frac{{a + \sqrt {{a^2} - {u^2}} }}{u}} \right| + C \cr & u = x,{\text{ }}a = 12 \cr & = - \frac{1}{{12}}\ln \left| {\frac{{12 + \sqrt {144 - {x^2}} }}{x}} \right| + C \cr} $$
