Answer

To solve the integral \( I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{9 \cos x + 12 \sin x} \, dx \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Rewrite the Denominator
We start with the expression in the denominator:
\[ 9 \cos x + 12 \sin x \]
We can factor out a common term to simplify it. We multiply and divide by 15:
\[ 9 \cos x + 12 \sin x = 15 \left( \frac{9}{15} \cos x + \frac{12}{15} \sin x \right) = 15 \left( \cos \alpha \cos x + \sin \alpha \sin x \right) \]
where \( \cos \alpha = \frac{9}{15} \) and \( \sin \alpha = \frac{12}{15} \).

### Step 2: Identify \( \alpha \)
From the right triangle formed with sides 9, 12, and 15, we can find:
\[ \cos \alpha = \frac{9}{15} = \frac{3}{5}, \quad \sin \alpha = \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5} \]
Thus, we can rewrite the denominator:
\[ 9 \cos x + 12 \sin x = 15 \left( \cos \alpha \cos x + \sin \alpha \sin x \right) = 15 \cos(x - \alpha) \]

### Step 3: Substitute Back into the Integral
Now we can substitute this back into the integral:
\[ I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{15 \cos(x - \alpha)} \, dx = \frac{1}{15} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sec(x - \alpha) \, dx \]

### Step 4: Integrate \( \sec(x - \alpha) \)
The integral of \( \sec \theta \) is given by:
\[ \int \sec \theta \, d\theta = \ln |\sec \theta + \tan \theta| + C \]
Thus,
\[ I = \frac{1}{15} \left[ \ln |\sec(x - \alpha) + \tan(x - \alpha)| \right]_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \]

### Step 5: Evaluate the Limits
Now we evaluate the limits:
1. At \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \):
\[ \sec\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha\right) = \csc(\alpha), \quad \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha\right) = \cot(\alpha) \]
2. At \( x = 0 \):
\[ \sec(-\alpha) = \sec(\alpha), \quad \tan(-\alpha) = -\tan(\alpha) \]

Now substituting these values:
\[ I = \frac{1}{15} \left( \ln \left| \csc(\alpha) + \cot(\alpha) \right| - \ln \left| \sec(\alpha) - \tan(\alpha) \right| \right) \]

### Step 6: Simplify the Expression
Using the identities:
\[ \csc(\alpha) + \cot(\alpha) = \frac{1 + \cos(\alpha)}{\sin(\alpha)}, \quad \sec(\alpha) - \tan(\alpha) = \frac{1 - \sin(\alpha)}{\cos(\alpha)} \]
We can simplify further, but for the sake of this problem, we can leave it in logarithmic form.

### Final Result
Thus, the final value of the integral is:
\[ I = \frac{1}{15} \left[ \ln \left( \frac{\csc(\alpha) + \cot(\alpha)}{\sec(\alpha) - \tan(\alpha)} \right) \right] \]
