SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the integration of the function \(\int\sqrt{1-9t^{2}}dt\) using trigonometric substitution. The substitution \(t = \frac{1}{3} \sin \Theta\) is employed, leading to the integral being transformed into \(\frac{1}{3}\int \cos^{2}\Theta d\Theta\). The final result is expressed in terms of \(\Theta\) and includes a correction for the missing factor of two in the integration steps. The user seeks clarification on eliminating \(\Theta\) from the final expression and the potential use of arcsin for simplification.
