#int x/sqrt(9-x²)dx=-sqrt(9-x^2)#

Explanation:

#int x/sqrt(9-x²)dx#

Let #x=3costheta#, then #dx=-3sinthetad theta#

and #intx/sqrt(9-x²)dx#

= #int(3costheta)/sqrt(9-9cos^2theta)*(-3sintheta)d theta#

= #int(3costheta)/(3sintheta)*(-3sintheta)d theta#

= #-3intcosthetad theta#

= #-3sintheta#

= #-sqrt(9-x^2)#
