Answer

$$ \int \frac{\cos x}{\sin ^{2} x-9} d x=\frac{1}{6} \ln \left|\frac{\sin x-3}{\sin x+3}\right|+C $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int \frac{\cos x}{\sin ^{2} x-9} d x $$ Let $$ u=\sin x\quad d u=\cos x d x $$ If we look at the Table of Integrals , we see that the closest entry is number $20$ with $a=3:$ $$ \int \frac{\cos x}{\sin ^{2} x-9} d x=\int \frac{1}{u^{2}-9} d u \quad\left[\begin{array}{c} u=\sin x \\ d u=\cos x d x \end{array}\right] \\ \quad \stackrel{20}{=} \frac{1}{2(3)} \ln \left|\frac{u-3}{u+3}\right|+C \\ \quad =\frac{1}{6} \ln \left|\frac{\sin x-3}{\sin x+3}\right|+C $$
