EXAMPLE 6 Evaluate the following integral.cot(x) dxSOLUTION First we write cotangent in terms of sine and cosine:cot(x) dx = cos(x)sin(x) dx.This suggests that we should substitute u = sin(x), since then du = dx and so:cot(x) dx =  cos(x)sin(x) dx =  duu =  ln(|u|) + C =  + C   (in terms of x).

Solution

The text you provided is a step-by-step solution to evaluate the integral of cot(x) dx. Here's the breakdown:

  1. Rewrite cotangent in terms of sine and cosine: cot(x) dx = cos(x)/sin(x) dx.
  2. Substitute u = sin(x). This is suggested because the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x), which is present in the integral.
  3. With the substitution, the integral becomes du/u.
  4. The integral of du/u is ln|u| + C, where C is the constant of integration.
  5. Substitute back u = sin(x) to get the final answer in terms of x: ln|sin(x)| + C.
