Substitute t=sin⁡x−cos⁡xt=\sin x-\cos x so that dt=(sin⁡x+cos⁡x) dxdt=(\sin x+\cos x)\,dx and sin⁡2x=1−t2\sin2x=1-t^2; the integral collapses to a standard ∫dta2−t2\int\frac{dt}{a^2-t^2} form that evaluates cleanly to 140log⁡9\frac{1}{40}\log9.

Let t=sin⁡x−cos⁡xt=\sin x-\cos x. Then dt=(cos⁡x+sin⁡x) dxdt=(\cos x+\sin x)\,dx.

Also, t2=sin⁡2x−2sin⁡xcos⁡x+cos⁡2x=1−sin⁡2xt^2=\sin^2x-2\sin x\cos x+\cos^2x = 1-\sin2x, so sin⁡2x=1−t2\sin2x=1-t^2.

Denominator: 9+16sin⁡2x=9+16(1−t2)=25−16t29+16\sin2x = 9+16(1-t^2)=25-16t^2.

The integral becomes:

∫dt25−16t2=116∫dt(54)2−t2\int\dfrac{dt}{25-16t^2} = \dfrac{1}{16}\int\dfrac{dt}{\left(\dfrac54\right)^2-t^2}

Using ∫dta2−t2=12aln⁡∣a+ta−t∣+C\displaystyle\int\dfrac{dt}{a^2-t^2}=\dfrac{1}{2a}\ln\left|\dfrac{a+t}{a-t}\right|+C with a=54a=\dfrac54:

=116⋅12⋅54ln⁡∣54+t54−t∣=140ln⁡∣5+4t5−4t∣= \dfrac{1}{16}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2\cdot\frac54}\ln\left|\dfrac{\frac54+t}{\frac54-t}\right| = \dfrac{1}{40}\ln\left|\dfrac{5+4t}{5-4t}\right|

Change the limits: at x=0x=0, t=sin⁡0−cos⁡0=−1t=\sin0-\cos0=-1; at x=π/4x=\pi/4, t=sin⁡π4−cos⁡π4=0t=\sin\frac{\pi}{4}-\cos\frac{\pi}{4}=0.
