Answer

So, the final answer is \(\boxed{0.060529634300126034}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the integral \(\int_{\ln 5}^{\ln 11} \frac{\cosh x}{4-\sinh ^{2} x} dx\)

Step 2 :We can simplify it by using the identity \(\cosh^2 x - \sinh^2 x = 1\). This allows us to rewrite the denominator as \(4 - \sinh^2 x = \cosh^2 x\)

Step 3 :The integral then simplifies to \(\int_{\ln 5}^{\ln 11} \frac{\cosh x}{\cosh^2 x} dx = \int_{\ln 5}^{\ln 11} \frac{1}{\cosh x} dx\)

Step 4 :The integral of \(1/\cosh x\) is \(\tanh x\), so the final answer should be \(\tanh(\ln 11) - \tanh(\ln 5)\)

Step 5 :Calculating the values we get 0.060529634300126034

Step 6 :So, the final answer is \(\boxed{0.060529634300126034}\)
