Answer

$$ - \frac{1}{{18}}\ln \left| {25 - 9{x^2}} \right| + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{x}{{25 - 9{x^2}}}} dx \cr & {\text{set }}u = 25 - 9{x^2}{\text{ then }}\frac{{du}}{{dx}} = - 18x \to dx = \frac{{du}}{{ - 18x}} \cr & {\text{write the integrand in terms of }}u \cr & \int {\frac{x}{{25 - 9{x^2}}}} dx = \int {\frac{x}{u}} \left( {\frac{{du}}{{ - 18x}}} \right) \cr & {\text{cancel the common factors}} \cr & = \int {\frac{1}{u}} \left( {\frac{{du}}{{ - 18}}} \right) \cr & = - \frac{1}{{18}}\int {\frac{1}{u}} du \cr & {\text{integrating}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{{18}}\ln \left| u \right| + C \cr & {\text{replace }}25 - 9{x^2}{\text{ for }}u \cr & = - \frac{1}{{18}}\ln \left| {25 - 9{x^2}} \right| + C \cr} $$
