integral of 1/(sin(ax))

\int \frac{1}{sin ( a x )} d x

\frac{1}{a} ln tan (\frac{a x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{sin ( a x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{a sin ( u )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{a sin ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sin ( u )} d u

Apply u-substitution

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

= \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln (∣ v ∣)

= \frac{1}{a} ln ∣ v ∣

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{a} ln tan (\frac{a x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{a} ln tan (\frac{a x}{2}) + C

\int - e^{- 2 x} sin (e^{x}) d x

\int \frac{3}{cos ^{2} ( 5 x )} d x

\int (- 1 - x^{2}) d x

\int \frac{1 + sin ( 3 x )}{cos ^{2} ( 3 x )} d x

\int x^{13} ln (6 x^{7}) d x
