Answer

$$\int \frac{5}{9+4r^2}dr=\frac{5}{6}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2r}{3}\Big)+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int \frac{5}{9+4r^2}dr=5\int\frac{1}{3^2+(2r)^2}dr$$ We set $u=2r$. Then $$du=2dr$$ $$dr=\frac{1}{2}du$$ Therefore, $$A=\frac{5}{2}\int\frac{du}{3^2+u^2}$$ We have $$\int\frac{dx}{a^2+x^2}=\frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{x}{a}\Big)+C$$ So $$A=\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{u}{3}\Big)+C$$ $$A=\frac{5}{6}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{u}{3}\Big)+C$$ $$A=\frac{5}{6}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{2r}{3}\Big)+C$$
