Solution
Evaluate the integral $\int\left(\frac{x-3}{x^2+9}\right)^2 \mathrm{d}x$.
Expand the integrand and rewrite the numerator:
$\left(\frac{x-3}{x^2+9}\right)^2 = \frac{x^2 - 6x + 9}{(x^2+9)^2} = \frac{(x^2+9) - 6x}{(x^2+9)^2} = \frac{1}{x^2+9} - \frac{6x}{(x^2+9)^2}$.
The integral becomes:
$I = \int \frac{1}{x^2+9} \mathrm{d}x - \int \frac{6x}{(x^2+9)^2} \mathrm{d}x$.
The first integral is standard: $\int \frac{1}{x^2+9} \mathrm{d}x = \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right)$.
For the second, use substitution with $u = x^2+9$, $\mathrm{d}u = 2x \mathrm{d}x$:
$\int \frac{6x}{(x^2+9)^2} \mathrm{d}x = 3 \int u^{-2} \mathrm{d}u = -\frac{3}{u} = -\frac{3}{x^2+9}$.
Combining results:
$I = \frac{1}{3} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3}\right) + \frac{3}{x^2+9} + C$.
This matches option C.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
