### Integral Evaluation Using Trigonometric Substitution

#### Problem Statement:
**Evaluate the following integrals using a trigonometric substitution. Hint: complete the square for part b.**

##### a) Integral  of (x^2 / (1 + x^2)) dx

##### b) Integral of sqrt(x^2 + 6x) dx

(Note: A clever way to evaluate the first integral is to add and subtract one to the numerator or use long division. No points will be given for these approaches.)

#### Solution for Part a:

\[ \int \frac{x^2}{1 + x^2} \, dx \]

The given integral can be simplified as:

\[ \int \frac{x^2 + 1 - 1}{1 + x^2} \, dx = \int \left( \frac{1 + x^2}{1 + x^2} - \frac{1}{1 + x^2} \right) \, dx \]

\[ = \int \left( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + x^2} \right) \, dx \]

\[ = \int 1 \, dx - \int \frac{1}{1 + x^2} \, dx \]

The integral of 1 with respect to x is x, and the integral of \( \frac{1}{1 + x^2} \) is \( \tan^{-1} x\):

\[ \int 1 \, dx = x \]

\[ \int \frac{1}{1 + x^2} \, dx = \tan^{-1} x \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ x - \tan^{-1} x + C \]

Where C is the constant of integration.
