Step 1: Recognize that the integral ∫₁/₃^¹/√³ (4 / (9𝓍² + 1)) d𝓍 can be evaluated using a substitution method or by referencing a standard integral formula from a table. The denominator resembles the form of a standard integral involving arctangent.
Step 2: Perform a substitution to simplify the integral. Let u = 3𝓍, which implies du = 3 d𝓍. Rewrite the integral in terms of u: the limits of integration change accordingly. When 𝓍 = 1/3, u = 1, and when 𝓍 = 1/√3, u = √3.
Step 3: Substitute into the integral. The integral becomes ∫₁^√³ (4 / (u² + 1)) (1/3) du, where the factor 1/3 comes from the substitution du = 3 d𝓍.
Step 4: Factor out constants from the integral. The integral simplifies to (4/3) ∫₁^√³ (1 / (u² + 1)) du. This integral matches the standard formula for the arctangent function: ∫ (1 / (u² + 1)) du = arctan(u).
Step 5: Apply the formula for the arctangent function. Evaluate (4/3) [arctan(u)] from u = 1 to u = √3. Substitute the limits into the arctangent function to complete the evaluation.

Definite Integrals

A definite integral represents the signed area under a curve between two specified limits. It is denoted as ∫[a, b] f(x) dx, where 'a' and 'b' are the lower and upper limits, respectively. The result of a definite integral is a numerical value that quantifies the accumulation of the function's values over the interval [a, b].

Definition of the Definite Integral

Change of Variables

Change of variables, or substitution, is a technique used in integration to simplify the integral by transforming it into a more manageable form. This involves substituting a new variable for an existing one, which can make the integral easier to evaluate. The process requires adjusting the limits of integration and the differential accordingly.
