Finding Indefinite Integrals


In Exercises 17–56, find the most general antiderivative or indefinite integral. You may need to try a solution and then adjust your guess. Check your answers by differentiation.


∫(1 − cot²x) dx

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recall the trigonometric identity involving cotangent and cosecant: \(\cot^{2}x + 1 = \csc^{2}x\). From this, express \(1 - \cot^{2}x\) in terms of \(\csc^{2}x\).
Rewrite the integrand using the identity: \(1 - \cot^{2}x = \csc^{2}x\).
Recognize that the integral now becomes \(\int \csc^{2}x \, dx\), which is a standard integral in calculus.
Recall the antiderivative of \(\csc^{2}x\) is \(-\cot x + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
Write the general solution as \(-\cot x + C\) and verify by differentiating \(-\cot x\) to ensure it returns the original integrand \(1 - \cot^{2}x\).
