What is the integral of cosec 2x dx ?

We need to find the integral of cosec 2x
dx.

Int[ cosec 2x dx]

=> Int[ 1/
sin 2x dx]

=> Int[ (sin 2x)/ (sin 2x)^2
dx]

=> Int[ (sin 2x)/(1 - (cos 2x)^2)
dx]

=> Int[ (sin 2x)/(1 - cos 2x)(1 + cos 2x)
dx]

=> 1/2(Int [ sin 2x / (1 - cos 2x) + sin 2x/(1 + cos 2x)
dx]

=> 1/4[ ln| 1 - cos 2x | - ln|( 1 + cos
2x)]

=> 1/4[ - ln(|1 + cos 2x | / | 1 - cos 2x|)
]

=> 1/4[ - ln((1 + cos 2x)^2 / ((1 - cos 2x)^2)
]

=> 1/4[ - ln((1 + cos 2x)^2 / (sin
2x)^2]

=> 1/2[ - ln|(1/(sin 2x) + (cos 2x) / (sin
2x)|]

=> 1/2[ - ln|(cosec 2x) + (cot
2x)|]

=> -1/2( ln | cosec 2x + cot 2x| +
C

The required integral is -1/2(ln | cosec 2x + cot
2x| + C
