integral of (-2cos(x))/(sin^2(x))

\int \frac{- 2 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

2 csc (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{- 2 cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - 2 \cdot \int \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= - 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{sin ( x )})

Simplify

- 2 (- \frac{1}{sin ( x )}) : 2 csc (x)

= 2 csc (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 csc (x) + C
