Find the value of the integral ∫dx9−6x−x2\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9-6x-x^{2}}}. a. (i) Rewrite the quadratic expression 9−6x−x29-6x-x^{2} so that the radicand is expressed in the form a2−(x−h)2a^{2}-(x-h)^{2}, where aa and hh are constants. b. (ii) Hence, evaluate ∫dx9−6x−x2\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9-6x-x^{2}}}.
