To find the integral of the function, we can start by using a substitution. Let's set:
u=4x+1
Then, the differential is:
du=4dx⇒dx=4du
Now we can rewrite the integral in terms of u.

Substituting into the integral, we get:
∫cos(4x+1)dx=∫cos(u)⋅4du
This simplifies to:
41∫cos(u)du=41sin(u)+C
Finally, substituting back for u:
41sin(4x+1)+C
