help with my calculus hw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure.

post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}(\sin ^{2}x -\cos ^{2}x)/(sinx)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=sin(x)? Rewrite cos2(x) as 1-sin2(x) The "2" is a power, btw.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, Stenly knows what he's saying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think a work out would be more helpful because im not understanding what you are saying

OpenStudy (nenadmatematika):

Stenly wtf? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@stenly i was calculus was that easy, lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, ignore me. Take the 1/sin(x) and turn it into csc(x). Expand it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Integrate by terms then.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am still confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by expand it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so csc(x)(sin2(x)-cos2(x)). Can we agree with that? (The 2 is a power.) This is the same as csc(x)sin2x-csc(x)(cos2(x)), which is the same as sinx-cotxcosx.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, I don't know why cotxcosx can be rewritten as cscx-sinx... Wait...
