Example 1(a) – Solution
Use the Arctangent Rule and let u = x and a = 3.

19
Example 1(b) – Solution cont’d

The Arctangent Rule does not apply because the

numerator contains a factor of x.

Consider the Log Rule and let u = x2 + 9. Then du = 2x dx,

and you have

20
Example 1(c) – Solution cont’d

Because the degree of the numerator is equal to the

degree of the denominator, you should first use division to
rewrite the improper rational function as the sum of a
polynomial and a proper rational function.
