Required integral =  sinx/(2sin2xcos2x) = [ ][ ]  sinx/(4sinxcosxcos2x) =
[ ][ ] dx/(4cosxcos2x) =
[ ][ ] dx/(4cosx (1-2sin2x) ) = [ ][ ] cosx/(4cos2x (1-2sin2x)) (Multiplying and dividing by cosx)
 
 =
[ ][ ]  cosx/((1-sinx)(1+sinx)(1-2sin2x)) . Now take sinx = t => cosx = dt.
 
thus, the integral reduces to
[ ][ ] dt/((1+t)(1-t)(1-2t2)) . On reducing this expression using partial fractions, I got the three constants A, B, C as -1/2, -1/2, 2. (Please notify if the values are wrong)
 
Thus, the integral reduces to :
 
[ ][ ] -1/2 (dt/(1+t)) + [-1/2(dt/1-t)] + 2[dt/(1-2t2)].
 
The first two integrals are straightforward, and will be equal to log(1+t) and
log(1/(1-t)) respectively. For the third integral, there are many ways to solve it. You can either apply the direct formula for
[ ][ ] dx/(a2-x2) = 1/2a (log(a+x)/(a-x)) or you can do it by completing the squares. Its your take!!
 
Cheers.

Will nip in at times to solve problems :)
