1. Split the integrand into two separate terms to apply standard integration formulae.

∫1−3x1+9x2 dx=∫11+9x2 dx−∫3x1+9x2 dx\int \frac{1-3x}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x = \int \frac{1}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x - \int \frac{3x}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x

2. Integrate the first term using the standard formula for $\frac{1}{a^2+x^2}$.

∫11+9x2 dx=∫11+(3x)2 dx=13tan⁡−1(3x)\int \frac{1}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x = \int \frac{1}{1+(3x)^2} \, \text{d}x = \frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}(3x)

3. Integrate the second term by manipulating it into the form $\frac{\mathrm{f}'(x)}{\mathrm{f}(x)}$ to obtain a natural logarithm.

∫3x1+9x2 dx=16∫18x1+9x2 dx=16ln⁡(1+9x2)\int \frac{3x}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x = \frac{1}{6} \int \frac{18x}{1+9x^2} \, \text{d}x = \frac{1}{6}\ln(1+9x^2)

4. Combine the integrated terms and append the constant of integration.

13tan⁡−1(3x)−16ln⁡(1+9x2)+C\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}(3x) - \frac{1}{6}\ln(1+9x^2) + C
(Note: Absolute value brackets are not required for the natural logarithm as 1+9x2>01+9x^2 > 0 for all real xx.)

Answer

13tan⁡−1(3x)−16ln⁡(1+9x2)+C\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}(3x) - \frac{1}{6}\ln(1+9x^2) + C

1. Find the differential $\text{d}x$ in terms of $\text{d}\theta$.

Given x=2sin⁡θx = 2\sin\theta,
dxdθ=2cos⁡θ  ⟹  dx=2cos⁡θ dθ\frac{\text{d}x}{\text{d}\theta} = 2\cos\theta \implies \text{d}x = 2\cos\theta \, \text{d}\theta

2. Substitute $x$ and $\text{d}x$ into the integral and simplify the denominator.

∫(2sin⁡θ−1)24−4sin⁡2θ(2cos⁡θ) dθ\int \frac{(2\sin\theta - 1)^2}{\sqrt{4 - 4\sin^2\theta}} (2\cos\theta) \, \text{d}\theta
=∫4sin⁡2θ−4sin⁡θ+14(1−sin⁡2θ)(2cos⁡θ) dθ= \int \frac{4\sin^2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 1}{\sqrt{4(1-\sin^2\theta)}} (2\cos\theta) \, \text{d}\theta
Since θ\theta is acute, cos⁡θ>0\cos\theta > 0, so 4cos⁡2θ=2cos⁡θ\sqrt{4\cos^2\theta} = 2\cos\theta:
=∫4sin⁡2θ−4sin⁡θ+12cos⁡θ(2cos⁡θ) dθ= \int \frac{4\sin^2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 1}{2\cos\theta} (2\cos\theta) \, \text{d}\theta
=∫(4sin⁡2θ−4sin⁡θ+1) dθ= \int (4\sin^2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 1) \, \text{d}\theta

3. Use the double angle identity to prepare the integrand for integration.

Using the identity cos⁡2θ=1−2sin⁡2θ\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta, we get 4sin⁡2θ=2(1−cos⁡2θ)4\sin^2\theta = 2(1 - \cos 2\theta):
∫(2−2cos⁡2θ−4sin⁡θ+1) dθ\int (2 - 2\cos 2\theta - 4\sin\theta + 1) \, \text{d}\theta
=∫(3−2cos⁡2θ−4sin⁡θ) dθ= \int (3 - 2\cos 2\theta - 4\sin\theta) \, \text{d}\theta

4. Integrate with respect to $\theta$.

=3θ−sin⁡2θ+4cos⁡θ+C= 3\theta - \sin 2\theta + 4\cos\theta + C

5. Convert the expression back to be in terms of $x$.

From x=2sin⁡θx = 2\sin\theta, we have sin⁡θ=x2\sin\theta = \frac{x}{2} and θ=sin⁡−1(x2)\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right).
Using a right-angled triangle, the adjacent side is 22−x2=4−x2\sqrt{2^2 - x^2} = \sqrt{4-x^2}, giving cos⁡θ=4−x22\cos\theta = \frac{\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2}.
We also need sin⁡2θ=2sin⁡θcos⁡θ=2(x2)(4−x22)=x4−x22\sin 2\theta = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta = 2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2}\right) = \frac{x\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2}.
Substituting these back into the integrated expression:
3sin⁡−1(x2)−x4−x22+4(4−x22)+C3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) - \frac{x\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2} + 4\left(\frac{\sqrt{4-x^2}}{2}\right) + C
=3sin⁡−1(x2)+(2−x2)4−x2+C= 3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + \left(2 - \frac{x}{2}\right)\sqrt{4-x^2} + C
=3sin⁡−1(x2)+4−x24−x2+C= 3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + \frac{4-x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2} + C

Answer

3sin⁡−1(x2)+4−x24−x2+C3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + \frac{4-x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2} + C

1. Differentiate $\sin^{-1}(2x^2)$ with respect to $x$ using the chain rule.

ddx(sin⁡−1(2x2))=11−(2x2)2⋅ddx(2x2)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}(\sin^{-1}(2x^2)) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - (2x^2)^2}} \cdot \frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}(2x^2)
=11−4x4⋅4x=4x1−4x4= \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - 4x^4}} \cdot 4x = \frac{4x}{\sqrt{1 - 4x^4}}

2. Set up integration by parts for the given integral, utilising the derivative found in the first part.

Let u=sin⁡−1(2x2)u = \sin^{-1}(2x^2) and dvdx=2x\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} = 2x.
Then dudx=4x1−4x4\frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} = \frac{4x}{\sqrt{1-4x^4}} and v=x2v = x^2.
Using the integration by parts formula ∫udvdx dx=uv−∫vdudx dx\int u \frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x} \, \text{d}x = uv - \int v \frac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x} \, \text{d}x:
∫2xsin⁡−1(2x2) dx=x2sin⁡−1(2x2)−∫x2(4x1−4x4) dx\int 2x\sin^{-1}(2x^2) \, \text{d}x = x^2 \sin^{-1}(2x^2) - \int x^2 \left( \frac{4x}{\sqrt{1-4x^4}} \right) \, \text{d}x
=x2sin⁡−1(2x2)−∫4x31−4x4 dx= x^2 \sin^{-1}(2x^2) - \int \frac{4x^3}{\sqrt{1-4x^4}} \, \text{d}x

3. Evaluate the remaining integral using substitution to obtain the final answer.

Let w=1−4x4w = 1-4x^4, then dw=−16x3 dx\text{d}w = -16x^3 \, \text{d}x.
The remaining integral becomes:
∫4x31−4x4 dx=∫−14w−12 dw\int \frac{4x^3}{\sqrt{1-4x^4}} \, \text{d}x = \int -\frac{1}{4} w^{-\frac{1}{2}} \, \text{d}w
=−14(w1212)=−121−4x4= -\frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{w^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} \right) = -\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-4x^4}
Substituting this back into the integration by parts result:
∫2xsin⁡−1(2x2) dx=x2sin⁡−1(2x2)−(−121−4x4)+C\int 2x\sin^{-1}(2x^2) \, \text{d}x = x^2 \sin^{-1}(2x^2) - \left( -\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-4x^4} \right) + C
=x2sin⁡−1(2x2)+121−4x4+C= x^2 \sin^{-1}(2x^2) + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-4x^4} + C

Answer

x2sin⁡−1(2x2)+121−4x4+Cx^2 \sin^{-1}(2x^2) + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-4x^4} + C
