Given definite integral $\int_0^\frac{2}{3}\frac{dx}{4+ 9x^2}$

Consider $\int \frac{dx}{4+ 9x^2} = \int \frac{dx}{2^2+(3x)^2}$

Now, putting $3x = t$

we get, $3dx=dt$

Therefore we have, $\int \frac{dx}{2^2+(3x)^2} = \frac{1}{3}\int \frac{dt}{2^2+t^2}$

$= \frac{1}{3}\left ( \frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}\frac{t}{2} \right ) = \frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right )$

we have the function of x , as $f(x) =\frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right )$

So, by applying the second fundamental theorem of calculus, we get

$\int_0^\frac{2}{3}\frac{dx}{4+ 9x^2} = f(\frac{2}{3}) - f(0)$

$= \frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{2}.\frac{2}{3} \right ) -\frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}0$

$= \frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}1 - 0$

$= \frac{1}{6}\times \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{24}$

Therefore the correct answer is C.
