Hiiii i was solving these problems and dont think theyre right at all://

1. ∫1/6 0 (1/(sqrt(1-9x^2))dx **I got 6.49 as my answer....I don't think that's right

∫1/6 0 (1/(sqrt(1-9x^2))dx

$$\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{1}{6}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-9x^2}}dx$$

Here is a site that should help

https://www.integral-calculator.com/

That site got     pi/18

I probably do these a little differently from most people.

I cannot remember the integrals so I so them more from scratch.

$$\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{1}{6}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-9x^2}}dx$$

I am going to use this triangle.

$$cos\theta=\sqrt{1-9x^2}\\ sin\theta=3x\\ x=\frac{sin\theta}{3}\\ \frac{dx}{d\theta}=\frac{cos\theta}{3}\\ dx=\frac{cos\theta}{3}d\theta$$

also

$$when \;x=0 \\ sin\theta=0\\ \theta=0\\~\\ when\;x=1/6\\ sin\theta=3*(1/6)=1/2\\ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$$

$$\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{1}{6}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-9x^2}}dx\\ =\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{1}{6}}\frac{1}{cos\theta}dx\\ =\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}}\frac{1}{cos\theta}\frac{cos\theta}{3}d\theta\\ =\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}}\frac{1}{3}d\theta\\ =\left[\frac{\theta}{3}\right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{6}}\\ =\frac{\pi}{18}$$

∫5 3 (1/(x^2-6x+13))dx

$$\displaystyle\int_3^{5}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-6x+13}}dx\\ =\displaystyle\int_3^{5}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-6x+9+4}}dx\\ =\displaystyle\int_3^{5}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2^2+(x-3)^2}}dx\\$$

I did this one in a very similar fashion.

I used this triangle

See if you can take it from there

If anyone wants to show guest how to do it in a more traditional way.

That is fine :)
