Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: General
Step 1: Simplify the expression in the denominator by completing the square.
The given integral is $I = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{12x - 9x^2}}$. We begin by rewriting the quadratic expression under the square root using the method of completing the square.
$$12x - 9x^2 = -9x^2 + 12x$$
Factor out $-9$ from the terms involving $x$:
$$= -9\left(x^2 - \frac{12}{9}x\right)$$
$$= -9\left(x^2 - \frac{4}{3}x\right)$$
To complete the square for $x^2 - \frac{4}{3}x$, we add and subtract $\left(\frac{-4/3}{2}\right)^2 = \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9}$:
$$= -9\left(x^2 - \frac{4}{3}x + \frac{4}{9} - \frac{4}{9}\right)$$
$$= -9\left(\left(x - \frac{2}{3}\right)^2 - \frac{4}{9}\right)$$
Distribute the $-9$ back into the expression:
$$= -9\left(x - \frac{2}{3}\right)^2 + 9\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)$$
$$= -(3x - 2)^2 + 4$$
$$= 4 - (3x - 2)^2$$
Substitute this back into the integral:
$$I = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{4 - (3x - 2)^2}}$$
Step 2: Apply a suitable substitution to transform the integral.
To simplify the integral into a standard form, we make the substitution $t = 3x - 2$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$$\frac{dt}{dx} = 3$$
This implies $dx = \frac{dt}{3}$.
Substitute $t$ and $dx$ into the integral:
$$I = \int \frac{\frac{dt}{3}}{\sqrt{4 - t^2}}$$
$$I = \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{dt}{\sqrt{2^2 - t^2}}$$
Step 3: Evaluate the integral and substitute back to express the result in terms of $x$.
The integral is now in the standard form $\int \frac{dy}{\sqrt{a^2 - y^2}} = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{y}{a}\right) + C$.
In our case, $a=2$ and the variable is $t$. Applying the formula:
$$I = \frac{1}{3} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right) + C$$
Finally, substitute back $t = 3x - 2$ to express the result in terms of $x$:
$$I = \frac{1}{3} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3x - 2}{2}\right) + C$$
The final answer is $\boxed{\frac{1}{3} \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{3x - 2}{2} \right) + C}$.
