Answers (1)

Given function $\frac{1}{1+ \cot x }$

Assume that $I = \int \frac{1}{1+ \cot x } dx$

Now solving the assumed integral;

$I = \int \frac{1}{1+ \frac{\cos x }{\sin x} } dx$

$= \int \frac{\sin x }{\sin x + \cos x } dx$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{2\sin x }{\sin x + \cos x } dx$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{(\sin x+ \cos x ) +(\sin x -\cos x ) }{(\sin x + \cos x) } dx$

$=\frac{1}{2}\int 1 dx + \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\sin x -\cos x }{\sin x +\cos x } dx$

$=\frac{1}{2}(x) + \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\sin x -\cos x }{\sin x +\cos x } dx$

Now, to solve further we will assume $\sin x + \cos x =t$

Or, $(\cos x -\sin x)dx =dt$

$\therefore I = \frac{x}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\int \frac{-(dt)}{t}$

$= \frac{x}{2}- \frac{1}{2}\log|t| +C$

Now, back substituting the value of t,

$= \frac{x}{2}- \frac{1}{2}\log|\sin x + \cos x| +C$
