Answer: Note that we used the table of general integration formulas to recognize that the integral of csc(x) dx is - ln|csc(x) + cot(x)| + C.
Explanation:
To evaluate the indefinite integral of csc(x) cot(x) dx, we can use substitution.
Let u = cot(x), then du/dx = -csc^2(x) and dx = -du/csc^2(x).
Substituting these values in the integral, we get:
∫ csc(x) cot(x) dx = ∫ -du/u = -ln|u| + C
Now substituting back u = cot(x),
we get: ∫ csc(x) cot(x) dx = -ln|cot(x)| + C
This is the final answer.
Note that we used the table of general integration formulas to recognize that the integral of csc(x) dx is -ln|csc(x) + cot(x)| + C. We then used the substitution technique and the general integration formula for ln|u| to arrive at the final answer.
