Use any method to evaluate the integrals in Exercises 15–38. Most will require trigonometric substitutions, but some can be evaluated by other methods.
∫ 6 dt / (9t² + 1)²

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the integral has the form \(\int \frac{6}{(9t^{2} + 1)^{2}} \, dt\), which suggests a trigonometric substitution because of the quadratic expression inside the denominator.
Rewrite the denominator as \(9t^{2} + 1 = (3t)^{2} + 1^{2}\), which matches the form \(a^{2} + x^{2}\) where \(a = 1\) and \(x = 3t\).
Use the substitution \(3t = \tan(\theta)\), which implies \(t = \frac{1}{3} \tan(\theta)\) and \(dt = \frac{1}{3} \sec^{2}(\theta) \, d\theta\).
Rewrite the integral in terms of \(\theta\) by substituting \(t\) and \(dt\), and simplify the expression using the identity \(1 + \tan^{2}(\theta) = \sec^{2}(\theta)\).
Evaluate the resulting integral in \(\theta\), then substitute back \(\theta = \arctan(3t)\) to express the answer in terms of \(t\).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Trigonometric Substitution

Trigonometric substitution is a technique used to simplify integrals involving expressions like a² + x², a² - x², or x² - a² by substituting x with a trigonometric function. This transforms the integral into a trigonometric integral that is often easier to evaluate. For example, substituting t = (1/3)tan(θ) can simplify the denominator 9t² + 1.

Chain Rule in Reverse (Substitution Method)

The substitution method involves changing variables to simplify an integral, effectively reversing the chain rule from differentiation. By choosing a substitution that simplifies the integral's expression, such as setting u = 9t² + 1, the integral becomes easier to solve.
