integral of (cos(x))/(1+4sin(x))

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{1 + 4 sin ( x )} d x

\frac{1}{4} ln ∣ 1 + 4 sin (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{1 + 4 sin ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{4 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = 1 + 4 sin (x)

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ 1 + 4 sin (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{4} ln ∣ 1 + 4 sin (x) ∣ + C
