Answer

$\ln |\dfrac{\sqrt{9+x^2}}{3}+\dfrac{x}{3}|+C$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider $x =3 \tan \theta $ and $dx= 3 \sec^2 \theta d \theta $ Now, the given integral becomes: $\int \dfrac{3 \sec^2 \theta d \theta }{\sqrt {9+9 \tan^2 \theta}} =\int \dfrac{3 \sec^2 \theta d \theta }{\sqrt {9 \sec^2 \theta}}$ or, $=\int \sec \theta d \theta $ Now, integrate. we have $\int \sec \theta d \theta=\ln |\sec \theta +\tan \theta|+C$ Plug $\tan \theta =\dfrac{x}{3}$ Thus, we have $\ln |\sec \theta +\tan \theta|+C=\ln |\dfrac{\sqrt{9+x^2}}{3}+\dfrac{x}{3}|+C$
