Calculate F(x) if f'(x)=cosx/(sinx)^3

To determine the function F(x) = f(x), we'll have to
integrate cosx/(sinx)^3.


Int cosxdx/(sinx)^3 = F(x) +
C


To determine the integral of f'(x), we'll change the
variable x.


We'll note sin x =
t


We'll differentiate both
sides:


cos xdx = dt


We'll
substitute sin x by t and cosxdx by dt and we'll get:


Int
cosxdx/(sinx)^3 = Int dt/t^3


We'll use the property of the
negative exponent:


1/t^3 =
t^-3


Int dt/t^3  = Int
t^-3dt


Int t^-3dt = t^(-3+1)/(-3+1) +
C


Int t^-3dt = t^-2/-2 + C


Int
t^-3dt = -1/2t^2 + C


But t = sin
x


Int cosxdx/(sinx)^3 = 1/2(sin x)^2 +
C


So, F(x) =  1/2(sin x)^2 +
C.
