1/7ln(sinx+6)

Explanation:

Start by moving any constants outside of the integral. In this case we can pull out 1/7.

1/7intcosx/(sinx+6)dx

We can use substitution to simplify the integral.

u=sinx+6->du=cosx dx

Plugging u and du in the integral simplifies to;

1/7int1/udu

The integral of 1/x is ln|x| +C.

1/7ln|u|+C

Undoing our earlier substitution, we get the solution to our integral.

1/7ln|sinx+6|+C
