The correct answer is: $\frac{1}{12} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4 x}{3}\right)+c$
$\begin{aligned} \int \frac{1}{16 x^{2}+9} d x &=\frac{1}{16} \int \frac{1}{x^{2}+\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}} d x \\ &=\frac{1}{16} \times \frac{4}{3} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{3 / 4}\right)+c \\ &=\frac{1}{12} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4 x}{3}\right)+c \end{aligned}$
