The integral $$\int\frac{2x}{x^2+9}\ \text{dx}$$ can be solved using substitution. By letting $$u = x^2 + 9$$, the differential $$du$$ becomes $$2x \, dx$$. This transforms the integral into $$\int \frac{du}{u}$$, which simplifies to $$\ln |u| + c$$. Substituting back gives the final result as $$\ln(x^2 + 9) + c$$. This method effectively demonstrates the application of substitution in solving integrals.

$$\int\frac{2x}{x^2+9}\ \text{dx}$$
I thot I could use
$$u={x}^{2}+9$$
But counldn't go thru with it

$$u=x^2+9 \Rightarrow du=2x dx $$

$$\int\frac{2x}{x^2+9} dx=\int \frac{du}{u}=\ln |u|+c=\ln |x^2+9|+c=\ln(x^2+9)+c$$
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
