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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

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

Substitute back

u = csc^{2} (x)

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

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