Apply properties of logarithms to expand and simplify the logarithmic expression $\ln\left(\sqrt{x^2-9}\right)$ inside the integral
Expand the integral $\int\left(\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(x+3\right)+\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(x-3\right)\right)dx$ into $2$ integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately
The integral $\int\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(x+3\right)dx$ results in: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\left(x+3\right)\ln\left(x+3\right)-x-3\right)$
The integral $\int\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(x-3\right)dx$ results in: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\left(x-3\right)\ln\left(x-3\right)-x+3\right)$
Gather the results of all integrals
As the integral that we are solving is an indefinite integral, when we finish integrating we must add the constant of integration $C$
