Help please? find the indefinite integral and check the result by differentiation. integrate (cos x / 1-cos^2 x) dx

@ganeshie8 could you help me with this one please?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify denominator first... use below identity : sin^2x + cos^2x = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integral (cos x/sin ^2 x)dx put sin x=t cosx dx=dt

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may do that, or after simplification if u remember the derivative of csc x, that works too... pen down and start messing wid it a bit :)

I got a little confused.. just to make sure the integral becomes (cos x/ sin^2 x) dx right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats right
