integral 4 csc ^4 x cot ^6x dx can someone help me solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits4 \csc^4x \cot^6x dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok this is pretty easy so whats the derivate of cscx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try a trig sub is what I mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-cscxcotx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Figured it out o.e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This looks confusing to me. I think im just trippin myself up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea its an emoticon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u walk me through this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm all it really is is a trig sub of cot^2x as u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 4cot^2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec let me finish solving

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im getting -4[1/2(cot^5(x)+1/6(cot^6(x)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then i would distribute the -4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4/2 cot^5x - 4/6 cot^6x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh yea :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see what you are saying here with the cot but it tells me that answer is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

somehow i got -4/9 cot^9 x - 4/7 cot^7 x + C
