The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Simplify the expression inside square root.

\[ 9 + 8x - x^2 = -(x^2 - 8x - 9). \]

Step 2: Complete the square.

\[ x^2 - 8x = (x-4)^2 - 16. \]
So,
\[ x^2 - 8x - 9 = (x-4)^2 - 25. \]
Thus,
\[ 9 + 8x - x^2 = 25 - (x-4)^2. \]

Step 3: Rewrite the integral.

\[ \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{25-(x-4)^2}}\,dx. \]

Step 4: Use standard integral formula.

\[ \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - u^2}}\,du = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{a}\right) + C. \]
Here \( u = x-4 \), \( a = 5 \).

Step 5: Apply substitution.

\[ \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{25-(x-4)^2}}\,dx = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-4}{5}\right) + C. \]

Step 6: Identify \( \varphi(x) \).

Thus,
\[ \varphi(x) = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-4}{5}\right). \]

Step 7: Final conclusion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-4}{5}\right)}. \]
