SUMMARY
The integral \(\int \frac{4\cos(t)}{(2+\sin(t))^2}dt\) can be effectively evaluated using the substitution \(u = 2 + \sin(t)\). This substitution simplifies the integral, allowing for easier integration. The discussion emphasizes the importance of starting with simple substitutions before attempting more complex ones, ensuring efficiency in solving integrals.
