please integrate for me (cosec x)/(cosecx-sinx) dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∫ csc(x)dx =-ln[csc(x)+cot(x)]+C answer//

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

\[\begin{align} \int \frac{\csc{x}}{\csc{x}-\sin{x}}\ dx&=\int\frac{1}{1-\sin^2{x}}\ dx\\ &=\int\frac{1}{\cos^2{x}}\ dx \\ &=\int \sec^2{x}\ dx\\ &=\tan^2{x} + C \end{align}\]

OpenStudy (callisto):

\[ ∫ sec^2 xdx\] is tanx +C :)

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

Oops. My fingers are getting ahead of my mind. =))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is tanx + c how u get the ans callisto ? help me please

OpenStudy (callisto):

@blockcolder 's working is correct. The only problem is that he typed so fast that he mistyped the answer for the last step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks a lot guys . but how you conclude cosecx/ (cscx-sinx) equal to 1/ (1-sinx) ?

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

I multiplied numerator and denominator by sin(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thts mean we can multiple it by anything to simplify it ?

OpenStudy (callisto):

cscx/ (cscx-sinx) = csc x / [(1/sinx) - sinx] = cscx / [(1-sin^2 x)/sinx] = cscx (sinx) / (1-sin^2 x) = 1/(cos^2 x) = (sec^2 x)

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

Yes. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it. thanks again :)

OpenStudy (callisto):

welcome :)

OpenStudy (blockcolder):

You're welcome. :D
