integral of 2/(tan(x))

\int \frac{2}{tan ( x )} d x

2 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{tan ( x )} d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{tan ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u} d u

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= 2 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 2 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣ + C

\int - 2 + (x^{2} + 3 x) - x^{3} d x

\int \frac{5}{( 9 - x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{5}{2}}} d x

\int cos (x) (1 + sin (x))^{3} d x

\int \frac{sec ^{4} ( θ )}{sec ^{2} ( θ ) - 1} d θ

\int ln (1 + x^{2} + x) d x
