integral of-2cot(x)csc^2(x)

\int - 2 cot (x) csc^{2} (x) d x

csc^{2} (x) + C

Solution steps

\int - 2 cot (x) csc^{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 cot (x) csc^{2} (x) d x

Apply u-substitution

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

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

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

Substitute back

u = csc^{2} (x)

= - 2 (- \frac{1}{2}) csc^{2} (x)

Simplify

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

= csc^{2} (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= csc^{2} (x) + C
