integral of (1+cot(x))/(1-cot(x))

\int \frac{1 + cot ( x )}{1 - cot ( x )} d x

ln ∣ sin (x) - cos (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1 + cot ( x )}{1 - cot ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( x ) + cos ( x )}{sin ( x ) - cos ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = sin (x) - cos (x)

= ln ∣ sin (x) - cos (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ sin (x) - cos (x) ∣ + C
