Answer

$\frac{1}{3}\ln\frac{8}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using the fact that $\frac{u'}{u}=\ln u $, we have $$\int_2^{4} \frac{1}{3t+4}dt=\frac{1}{3}\int_2^{4} \frac{3}{3t+4}dt=\frac{1}{3}\ln (3t+4)|_2^{4}\\ =\frac{1}{3}(\ln 16-\ln 10)=\frac{1}{3}\ln \frac{16}{10}=\frac{1}{3}\ln\frac{8}{5}. $$ where used the property: $\ln A-\ln B=\frac{A}{B}$.
