Answer

$6-3\sqrt{3}$

Work Step by Step

We begin with the integral: $$\int_{0}^{3}\frac{x}{\sqrt{36-x^2}}dx$$ We can now introduce a u-substitution $$u=36-x^2\\ du=-2xdx\\\frac{-1}{2}du=xdx$$ After substituting and changing the bounds, we get: $$\frac{-1}{2}\int_{36}^{27}\frac{du}{\sqrt{u}}=\frac{-1}{2}\bigg[2\sqrt{u}\bigg]_{36}^{27}=\frac{-1}{2}(2\sqrt{27}-2\sqrt{36})=6-3\sqrt{3}$$
