Answer

$$ - \sqrt {9 - {x^2}} + C $$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{x}{{\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} }}} dx \cr & {\text{Integrate by substitution method}} \cr & {\text{Let }}u = 9 - {x^2},\,\,\,\,du = - 2xdx,\,\,\,\,dx = \frac{{du}}{{ - 2x}} \cr & {\text{Then}}{\text{,}} \cr & \int {\frac{x}{{\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} }}} dx = \int {\frac{x}{{\sqrt u }}} \left( {\frac{{du}}{{ - 2x}}} \right) \cr & {\text{Cancel common factor }}x \cr & = \int {\frac{1}{{\sqrt u }}} \left( {\frac{{du}}{{ - 2}}} \right) \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\int {\frac{1}{{{u^{1/2}}}}du} \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\int {{u^{ - 1/2}}du} \cr & {\text{integrating}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\left( {\frac{{{u^{1/2}}}}{{1/2}}} \right) + C \cr & = - \sqrt u + C \cr & {\text{write in terms of }}x.{\text{ }}u = 9 - {x^2} \cr & = - \sqrt {9 - {x^2}} + C \cr} $$
