integral of (2-sin^3(x))/(sin^2(x))

\int \frac{2 - sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

- 2 cot (x) + cos (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2 - sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} d x

Expand

\frac{2 - sin ^{3} ( x )}{sin ^{2} ( x )} : \frac{2}{sin ^{2} ( x )} - sin (x)

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

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

\int sin (x) d x = - cos (x)

= - 2 cot (x) - (- cos (x))

Simplify

= - 2 cot (x) + cos (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 cot (x) + cos (x) + C
