Answer
Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{3+4\cot\text{x}}\ \text{dx}$ $=\int\frac{1}{3+\frac{4\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}}}\ \text{dx}$ $=\int\frac{\sin\text{x}}{3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}}\ \text{dx}$ Let $\sin\text{x}=\text{A}(3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x})+\text{B}(3\cos\text{x}-4\sin\text{x})\dots(1)$ $\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=(3\text{A}-4\text{B})\sin\text{x}+(4\text{A}+3\text{B})\cos\text{x}$ By compairing the coefficient of both sides we get, $3\text{A}-4\text{B}=1\dots(2)$ $4\text{A}+3\text{B}=0\dots(3)$ Multiplying eq (2) by (3) and equation (3) by 4, then by adding them we get $9\text{A}-12\text{B}+16\text{A}+12\text{B}=3+0$ $\Rightarrow25\text{A}=3$ $\text{A}=\frac{3}{25}$ Putting value of A in eq (3) we get, $4\times\frac{3}{25}+3\text{B}=0$ $\Rightarrow3\text{B}=-\frac{12}{25}$ $\Rightarrow\text{B}=-\frac{4}{25}$ Thus, by substituting the value of A and B in eq (1) we get $\text{I}=\int\bigg[\frac{\frac{3}{25}(3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x})-\frac{4}{25}(3\cos\text{x}-4\sin\text{x})}{3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}}\bigg]\text{dx}$ $=\int\text{dx}-\frac{4}{25}\int\Big(\frac{3\cos\text{x}-4\sin\text{x}}{3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}}\Big)\ \text{dx}$ Putting $3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}=\text{t}$ $\Rightarrow(3\cos\text{x}-4\sin\text{x})\text{ dx}=\text{dt}$ $\therefore\text{I}=\frac{3}{25}\int\text{dx}-\frac{4}{25}\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{t}}$ $=\frac{3}{25}\text{x}-\frac{4}{25}\ln|\text{t}|+\text{C}$ $=\frac{3\text{x}}{25}-\frac{4}{25}\ln|3\sin\text{x}+4\cos\text{x}|+\text{C}$
