We notice that the denominator is a perfect square: x^2 +
6x +9 = (x+3)^2
We'll re-write the
integral:
Int f(x)dx = Int
dx/(x+3)^2
We'll use the techinque of changing the
variable. For this reason we'll substitute x+3 by t.
x+3 =
t
We'll differentiate both sides with respect to
x:
(x+3)'dx = dt
So, dx =
dt
We'll re-write the integral in
t:
Int dx/(x+3)^2 = Int
dt/t^2
Int dt/t^2 = Int
[t^(-2)]*dt
Int [t^(-2)]*dt = t^(-2+1)/(-2+1) = t^(-1)/-1 =
-1/t
But t =
x+3
The indefinite integral of the given
function is represented by the primitive F(x) = -1/(x+3) +
C.
