integral of (sin(2x))^{-2}

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

- \frac{1}{2} cot (2 x) + C

Solution steps

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

Simplify

(sin (2 x))^{- 2} : csc^{2} (2 x)

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int csc^{2} (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- cot (u))

Substitute back

u = 2 x

= \frac{1}{2} (- cot (2 x))

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} cot (2 x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} cot (2 x) + C

\int x^{2} (5 x^{3} - 7)^{8} d x

\int 2 + x e^{x} d x

\int (2 x - 1) (2 x + 3) d x

\int (8 x^{3} - \frac{9}{x} + 4 e^{x}) d x

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