[tex]\int1/\sqrt{(4+9x^2)^3}dx[/tex]




3. The Attempt at a Solution :

i think i do all options that i now, but i cannt to make a solution of this, (the way)? may be anybody can help me,
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can get the answer here: http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp

Enter 1/(Sqrt((4+9*x*x)^3))

Maybe once you have the answer it will give you some ideas about how to solve it.

If you still need help, come back and let us know.
 
eeeeeeeeemmmh thnks, the answer i know, and in others sites,i gave the same answer,

but i want to see the way... :(((((((((((

Quite right! :smile:

Hint: for √(a ± bx2), always try a trig substitution first. :wink:
 
yes you right ! thank you.

i change 3x=2tg(t), and everything being cool!

thanks to all of you!

p.s: how much time i spend on this... :(
