integral of 1/(y^2+9)

\int \frac{1}{y ^{2} + 9} d y

\frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{y}{3}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{y ^{2} + 9} d y

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{3 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= \frac{1}{3} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{y}{3}

= \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{y}{3})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} arctan (\frac{y}{3}) + C
