Answer

$$ - \frac{1}{4}\sqrt {9 - 4{t^2}} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{{tdt}}{{\sqrt {9 - 4{t^2}} }}} \cr & {\text{Integrate by the substitution method}} \cr & \,\,\,u = 9 - 4{t^2},\,\,\,\,du = - 8tdt,\,\,\,\,\,tdt = - \frac{1}{8}du \cr & \int {\frac{{tdt}}{{\sqrt {9 - 4{t^2}} }}} = \int {\frac{{\left( { - 1/8} \right)du}}{{\sqrt u }}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{8}\int {{u^{ - 1/2}}} du \cr & {\text{integrate}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{8}\left( {\frac{{{u^{1/2}}}}{{1/2}}} \right) + C \cr & = - \frac{1}{4}\sqrt u + C \cr & {\text{Write in terms of }}x,{\text{ replace }}9 - 4{t^2}{\text{ for }}u \cr & = - \frac{1}{4}\sqrt {9 - 4{t^2}} + C \cr} $$
