Evaluate the integral 98+9xdx\int \frac{9}{8+9 x} d x for x89x \neq -\frac{8}{9}. Type the exact answer.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the integral to evaluate: 98+9xdx\int \frac{9}{8+9x} \, dx
2. The variable of integration is xx.
3. x89x \neq -\frac{8}{9} to avoid division by zero in the integrand.

STEP 2

Identify the form of the integral. The given integral is a rational function where the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator. This suggests that we can use a uu-substitution to simplify the integral.

STEP 3

Let uu be the denominator of the fraction in the integrand.
u=8+9xu = 8 + 9x

STEP 4

Differentiate uu with respect to xx to find dudu.
dudx=9\frac{du}{dx} = 9

STEP 5

Solve for dxdx in terms of dudu.
dx=du9dx = \frac{du}{9}

STEP 6

Substitute 8+9x8 + 9x with uu and dxdx with du9\frac{du}{9} in the integral.
98+9xdx=9udu9\int \frac{9}{8+9x} \, dx = \int \frac{9}{u} \cdot \frac{du}{9}

STEP 7

Simplify the integral by canceling out the 9's.
9udu9=1udu\int \frac{9}{u} \cdot \frac{du}{9} = \int \frac{1}{u} \, du

STEP 8

The integral of 1u\frac{1}{u} with respect to uu is the natural logarithm of the absolute value of uu.
1udu=lnu+C\int \frac{1}{u} \, du = \ln |u| + C

STEP 9

Substitute back the expression for uu to get the integral in terms of xx.
lnu+C=ln8+9x+C\ln |u| + C = \ln |8 + 9x| + C

STEP 10

Write the final answer, including the constant of integration CC.
98+9xdx=ln8+9x+C\int \frac{9}{8+9x} \, dx = \ln |8 + 9x| + C
To check the result, we differentiate the antiderivative.

STEP 11

Differentiate the antiderivative with respect to xx.
ddx(ln8+9x+C)\frac{d}{dx}(\ln |8 + 9x| + C)

STEP 12

Apply the chain rule for differentiation.
ddx(ln8+9x)=18+9xddx(8+9x)\frac{d}{dx}(\ln |8 + 9x|) = \frac{1}{8 + 9x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(8 + 9x)

STEP 13

Differentiate 8+9x8 + 9x with respect to xx.
ddx(8+9x)=9\frac{d}{dx}(8 + 9x) = 9

STEP 14

Combine the results from steps 12 and 13.
18+9x9=98+9x\frac{1}{8 + 9x} \cdot 9 = \frac{9}{8 + 9x}

STEP 15

Since the derivative of the antiderivative is the original integrand, our solution is verified.
ddx(ln8+9x+C)=98+9x\frac{d}{dx}(\ln |8 + 9x| + C) = \frac{9}{8 + 9x}
Thus, the evaluated integral is correct.
98+9xdx=ln8+9x+C\int \frac{9}{8+9x} \, dx = \ln |8 + 9x| + C
