Rewriting the integrand in the standard ∫dx/a2−x2\int dx/\sqrt{a^2-x^2} form and evaluating the limits gives π6\dfrac{\pi}{6}.

  1. We need ∫02/3dx4−9x2\displaystyle\int_0^{2/3}\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{4-9x^2}}.
  2. Factor out 99 from inside the square root: 4−9x2=9(49−x2)4-9x^2=9\left(\dfrac49-x^2\right), so 4−9x2=3(23)2−x2\sqrt{4-9x^2}=3\sqrt{\left(\dfrac23\right)^2-x^2}.
  3. So the integral becomes ∫02/3dx3(2/3)2−x2=13∫02/3dx(2/3)2−x2\displaystyle\int_0^{2/3}\dfrac{dx}{3\sqrt{(2/3)^2-x^2}}=\dfrac13\int_0^{2/3}\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{(2/3)^2-x^2}}.
  4. Use the standard result ∫dxa2−x2=sin⁡−1 ⁣(xa)+C\displaystyle\int\dfrac{dx}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}}=\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{x}{a}\right)+C with a=23a=\dfrac23: 13[sin⁡−1 ⁣(x2/3)]02/3=13[sin⁡−1 ⁣(3x2)]02/3\dfrac13\left[\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{x}{2/3}\right)\right]_0^{2/3}=\dfrac13\left[\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{3x}{2}\right)\right]_0^{2/3}. …
