To begin with the $dtheta$ on the top of the fraction threw me off but I'm assuming it's just another way of representing:



$${int}frac{1}{9cos^2theta+sin^2theta},dtheta$$



I tried working backwards



$$frac{d}{dtheta}tantheta=sec^2theta,,,,{Rightarrow},,,,d,tantheta=sec^2theta,dtheta$$
$${Rightarrow},{int}frac{sec^2theta,dtheta}{9+tan^2theta}$$



$$tantheta=frac{sintheta}{costheta},,,,{Rightarrow},,,,tan^2theta=frac{sin^2theta}{cos^2theta}$$



$${Rightarrow},{int}frac{sec^2theta,dtheta}{left(9+dfrac{sin^2theta}{cos^2theta}right)}$$



$$9=frac{9cos^2theta}{cos^2theta},,,,{Rightarrow},,,,{int}frac{sec^2theta,dtheta}{left(dfrac{9cos^2theta}{cos^2theta}+dfrac{sin^2theta}{cos^2theta}right)},,,,{Rightarrow},,,,{int}frac{sec^2theta,dtheta}{left(dfrac{9cos^2theta+sin^2theta}{cos^2theta}right)}$$



$${Rightarrow},,,,{int}frac{color{red}{cos^2theta,sec^2theta},dtheta}{9cos^2theta+sin^2theta}$$



Now I have to prove that $$cos^2theta,sec^2theta=1$$
but I don't think it is... What have I done wrong? Regards Tom
