integral of csc^2(1/2 x)

\int csc^{2} (\frac{1}{2} x) d x

- 2 cot (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int csc^{2} (\frac{1}{2} x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{1}{sin ^{2} ( \frac{x}{2} )} d x

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

\frac{1}{sin ( x )} = csc (x)

= \int csc^{2} (\frac{x}{2}) d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int csc^{2} (u) \cdot 2 d u

= \int csc^{2} (u) \cdot 2 d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int csc^{2} (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int csc^{2} (u) d u = - cot (u)

= 2 (- cot (u))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= 2 (- cot (\frac{x}{2}))

Simplify

= - 2 cot (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 cot (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int 4 x sin^{2} (x) d x

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

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

\int \frac{x}{( 3 x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{3}} d x

\int 6 x^{5} + 4 x + x d x
