Answer

$$\int \frac{\sqrt{16-x^{2}}}{x} d x =\ln |\frac{4}{x} +\frac{\sqrt{16-x^2 }}{x}|+\frac{\sqrt{16-x^2 }}{4}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$ \int \frac{\sqrt{16-x^{2}}}{x} d x $$ Let $ x=4 \sin \theta\ \ \ \to\ \ \ dx= 4\cos \theta d\theta $, then \begin{align*} \int \frac{\sqrt{16-x^{2}}}{x} d x&=\int \frac{\sqrt{16-16\sin^{2}}\theta }{4 \sin \theta} 4\cos \theta d\theta\\ &=\int \frac{4\cos^2 \theta d\theta}{4 \sin \theta} \\ &=\int \frac{( 1- \sin^2 \theta )d\theta}{ \sin \theta}\\ &=\int(\csc\theta -\sin\theta)d\theta \\ &=\ln |\csc\theta +\cot\theta|+\cos\theta+C\\ &=\ln |\frac{4}{x} +\frac{\sqrt{16-x^2 }}{x}|+\frac{\sqrt{16-x^2 }}{4}+C \end{align*}
