Answer

\[\frac{π}{16}\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int_{0}^{4}\frac{1}{16+t^2}dt\] \[I=\int_{0}^{4}\frac{1}{t^2+(4)^2}dt\;\;\;...(1)\] We will use the formula \[\int\frac{dx}{x^2+a^2}=\frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)\;\;\;...(2)\] By using (2) in (1) \[\Rightarrow I=\left[\frac{1}{4}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)\right]_{0}^{4}\] \[\Rightarrow I=\frac{1}{4}\left[\tan^{-1}(1)-\tan^{-1}(0)\right]\] \[\Rightarrow I=\frac{π}{16}\] Hence , \[\int_{0}^{4}\frac{1}{16+t^2}dt=\frac{π}{16}\]
