integral of cot^2(x)

integral

cot^{2} (x)

- x - cot (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int - 1 + csc^{2} (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 1 d x + \int csc^{2} (x) d x

\int 1 d x = x

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

= - x - cot (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - x - cot (x) + C

\int \frac{ln ( x )}{( 1 - x ) ^{2}} d x

\int x (5 - x)^{7} d x

\int 5 cot (2 x) csc^{2} (2 x) d x

\int \frac{1}{1 - \frac{x ^{2}}{144}} d x

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2}} sin (\frac{4}{x}) cos (\frac{4}{x}) d x
