Question
Question: Solve \(\int {\cos ecx(\cos ecx + \cot x)dx} \)....
Solve ∫cosecx(cosecx+cotx)dx.
Solution
Hint: In these types of questions always remember the basic integral values like ∫cosec2xdx=−cotxand∫cotxcosecxdx=−cosecx. Use these formulas to find the required simplifications.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Let ∫cosecx(cosecx+cotx)dx be I.
So, I =∫cosecx(cosecx+cotx)dx (equation 1)
Now, on simplifying equation 1, we get
I = ∫(cosec2x+cotxcosecx)dx
It can also be written as,
I = ∫cosec2xdx+∫cotxcosecxdx (equation 2)
We know,
∫cosec2xdx=−cotx&∫cotxcosecxdx=−cosecx (equation 3)
Substituting values of equation 3 in equation 2 gives us,
I = −cotx −cosecx + c
I= −(cotx + cosecx)+c
Hence ∫cosecx(cosecx+cotx)dx= −(cotx + cosecx)+c.
Note: Try to memorize as many formulas as possible because it will give you a boost to solve questions and save your time. Always simplify the question by dividing it into familiar form and then substitute it with the simplified value.
