First, let's substitute
x=\frac w4 and
dx=\frac{dw}4 to get rid of the fraction.


\displaystyle \int \csc^6\left(\frac w4\right) \cot^4\left(\frac w4\right) \, dw = 4 \int \csc^6(x) \cot^4(x) \, dx

Recall that


\cot^2(x) + 1 = \csc^2(x)


(d)/(dx) \cot(x) = -\csc^2(x)

We can the rewrite the integrand as


\displaystyle 4 \int \csc^6(x) \cot^4(x) \, dx = 4 \int \left(\cot^2(x) + 1\right)^2 \cot^4(x) \csc^2(x) \, dx

then substitute
y=\cot(x) and
dy=-\csc^2(x)\,dx to get


\displaystyle -4 \int (y^2 + 1)^2 y^4 \, dy

Expand the integrand.


\displaystyle -4 \int (y^4 + 2y^2 + 1) y^4 \, dy = -4 \int (y^8 + 2y^6 + y^4) \, dy

Now integrate with the power rule.


\displaystyle -4 \left(\frac{y^9}9 + \frac{2y^7}7 + \frac{y^5}5\right) + C


\displaystyle -\frac{4y^9}9 - \frac{8y^7}7 - \frac{4y^5}5 + C

Put everything back in terms of
x, then
w.


\displaystyle -\frac{4\cot^9(x)}9 - \frac{8\cot^7(x)}7 - \frac{4\cot^5(x)}5 + C


\displaystyle \boxed{-\frac49 \cot^9\left(\frac w4\right) - \frac87 \cot^7\left(\frac w4\right) - \frac45 \cot^5\left(\frac w4\right) + C}

Answer: The given integral is impossible to solve.

Step-by-step explanation: I tried solving it right now with integration by parts and trigonometric substitution, and I was unable to solve it.

So I looked at two math solvers and tried inputting the question, and it either says "There is nothing more you can do with this problem," or "We are unable to solve this problem."
