integration of (cos(x))/(sin(x)+(sin(x))^2)
\[\frac{\cos(x)}{\sin(x) +(\sin(x))^2}\]
let t=sin x
I think: Put: \[1 + sinx = t\]
@KonradZuse \[dt = \cos x \ dx\]
\[\frac{cosx}{sinx(1 +sinx)}dx\]
Put: \[1 + sinx = u\] \[sinx = (u-1)\] -------------1 \[du = cosxdx\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{du}{u(u-1)}\]
interesting.
so then do we do u^2 - u?
then it owuld be u^3/3 - ln|u| +c?
Now use completion of square method..
just notice \[\frac{1}{u(u-1)}=\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\]
Yeah mukushla is right you can use this it will become easy to solve..
Idk how we would do completing the square. So my method was wrong huh...
No go by mukushula method.. He has just simplified it for you above..
I guess it would be ln|u-1| - ln|u| + c?
right
I see what I did and why it's not right, but you couldn't just put them back together then huh...
ln|sin(x)| - ln|1+sin(x)| +c
is that correct?
yes
Thanks :)
Wolfram gave me a super weird answer....
Do not forget to replace u by (1 + sinx) ..
