Answer

$$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1+4cotx}{4-cotx}dx=ln(\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3})$$

Work Step by Step

$$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1+4cotx}{4-cotx}dx=\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{1+4cotx}{4-cotx}\frac{sinx}{sinx}dx$$ $$=\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{sinx+4cosx}{4sinx-cosx}dx$$ $$let\ t=4sinx-cosx,dt=(4cosx+sinx)dx$$ $$\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}\frac{sinx+4cosx}{4sinx-cosx}dx\int_{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}}^{4}\frac{1}{t}dt$$ $$=\left [ ln\,t \right ]_{\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}}^{4}=ln(\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3})$$
