The answer is: $1/3arctan(sqrt(e^(2x)-9)/3)+c$ .

We have to make this substitution:

$sqrt(e^(2x)-9)=trArre^(2x)-9=t^2rArre^(2x)=t^2+9rArr$

$2x=ln(t^2+9)rArrx=1/2ln(t^2+9)rArrdx=1/2*(2t)/(t^2+9)dtrArr$

$dx=t/(t^2+9)dt$ ,

so:

$int(dx)/sqrt(e^(2x)-9)=int1/t*t/(t^2+9)dt=intdt/(t^2+9)=$

$intdt/(9(t^2/9+1))=1/9intdt/((t/3)^2+1)=1/9*3int(1/3)/((t/3)^2+1)dt=$

$=1/3arctan(t/3)+c=1/3arctan(sqrt(e^(2x)-9)/3)+c$ .
