Answer

$\sin ^{-1} (\dfrac{x}{3})+c$

Work Step by Step

Consider the integral $\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt {(9-x^2)}}$ Plug $x= 3 \sin \theta \implies dx= 3 \cos \theta d \theta$ and $\sqrt {9-x^2}=3 \cos \theta$ This implies that $\int\dfrac{3 \cos \theta d \theta}{3 \cos \theta}=\int d\theta$ Also, we have $x= 3 \sin \theta \implies \theta= \sin ^{-1} (\dfrac{x}{3})$ or, $\theta+c=\sin ^{-1} (\dfrac{x}{3})+c$
