QuestionFind the integral of cos(t)sin2(t)\frac{\cos (t)}{\sin ^{2}(t)} with respect to tt.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The integral is a definite integral. . We are integrating the function cos(t)sin(t)\frac{\cos (t)}{\sin ^{}(t)} with respect to tt.

STEP 2

We can simplify the integral by using a substitution. Let's set u=sin(t)u = \sin(t).
u=sin(t)u = \sin(t)

STEP 3

Now, we need to find the derivative of uu with respect to tt, which we denote as du/dtdu/dt or uu'.
u=cos(t)u' = \cos(t)

STEP 4

We can rewrite du/dtdu/dt as du=cos(t)dtdu = \cos(t) dt.
du=cos(t)dtdu = \cos(t) dt

STEP 5

Now, we can substitute uu and dudu into the integral.
cos(t)sin2(t)dt=1u2du\int \frac{\cos (t)}{\sin ^{2}(t)} dt = \int \frac{1}{u^{2}} du

STEP 6

This integral is now in a form that we can easily solve. The integral of 1u2\frac{1}{u^{2}} is 1u-\frac{1}{u}.
1u2du=1u+C\int \frac{1}{u^{2}} du = -\frac{1}{u} + C

STEP 7

Now, we substitute uu back in terms of tt.
1u+C=1sin(t)+C-\frac{1}{u} + C = -\frac{1}{\sin(t)} + CSo, the solution to the integral cos(t)sin2(t)dt\int \frac{\cos (t)}{\sin ^{2}(t)} dt is 1sin(t)+C-\frac{1}{\sin(t)} + C.
