$\int \dfrac{3^x}{\sqrt{1-9^x}} d x$ is equal to

  • A
    $(\log 3) \sin ^{-1} 3^x+C$
  • B
    $\dfrac{1}{3} \sin ^{-1}\left(3^x\right)+C$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\dfrac{1}{\log 3} \sin ^{-1} 3^x+C$
  • D
    $3 \log 3 \sin ^{-1} 3^x+C$

Solution

Let $I = \int \dfrac{3^x}{\sqrt{1-9^x}} dx$.

Rewrite the denominator as $\sqrt{1-(3^x)^2}$.

Let $u = 3^x$. Then $du = 3^x \ln 3 dx$, which implies $3^x dx = \dfrac{du}{\ln 3}$.

Substituting these into the integral:

$I = \int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-u^2}} \cdot \dfrac{du}{\ln 3}$

$I = \dfrac{1}{\ln 3} \int \dfrac{du}{\sqrt{1-u^2}}$

Using the standard integral formula $\int \dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} = \sin^{-1} x + C$, we get:

$I = \dfrac{1}{\ln 3} \sin^{-1} u + C$

Substituting $u = 3^x$ back:

$I = \dfrac{1}{\ln 3} \sin^{-1} 3^x + C$.

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{\log 3} \sin ^{-1} 3^x+C$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
