Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 31–78.
47. ∫(1/r)csc²(1+ln(r))dr

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the integral to solve: \(\int \frac{1}{r} \csc^{2}(1 + \ln(r)) \, dr\).
2. Recognize that the integrand involves a composite function \(1 + \ln(r)\) inside the \(\csc^{2}\) function, and the factor \(\frac{1}{r}\) outside suggests a substitution related to \(\ln(r)\).
3. Let \(u = 1 + \ln(r)\). Then, compute the differential \(du\): since \(\frac{d}{dr} \ln(r) = \frac{1}{r}\), it follows that \(du = \frac{1}{r} dr\).
4. Rewrite the integral in terms of \(u\): substitute \(\frac{1}{r} dr\) with \(du\), so the integral becomes \(\int \csc^{2}(u) \, du\).
5. Recall the antiderivative of \(\csc^{2}(u)\) is \(-\cot(u) + C\). After integrating, substitute back \(u = 1 + \ln(r)\) to express the answer in terms of \(r\).

Key Concepts

Integration by Substitution

Integration by substitution is a method used to simplify integrals by changing variables. It involves identifying a part of the integrand as a new variable, differentiating it, and rewriting the integral in terms of this variable. This technique is especially useful when the integral contains a composite function, such as csc²(1 + ln(r)).

Properties of Logarithmic Functions

Logarithmic functions, like ln(r), have specific differentiation and integration properties. Understanding that the derivative of ln(r) is 1/r helps in recognizing substitution candidates. This knowledge is crucial when the integrand involves expressions like 1/r combined with functions of ln(r).

Integration of Trigonometric Functions

Integrals involving trigonometric functions such as csc²(x) rely on knowing their antiderivatives. For example, the integral of csc²(x) dx is -cot(x) + C. Recognizing these standard integrals allows for straightforward evaluation once the integral is properly transformed.
