See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information.

The given integral is cotxdx=ln(sinx)+C.

Step 2. Verification.

We can write the differentiation as,

ddxln(sinx)=1sinx(cosx)

=cosxsinx=cot x

Hence, ln(sinx) is an anti-derivative of cotx.

Therefore,

cotxdx=ln(sinx)+C
