Answer: \frac{-1}{4} \cot ^{4} x+c

Hint: Use substitution method to solve this integral.

Given: \int \cot ^{3} x \cdot \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \; d x

Solution:

        \begin{aligned} &\text { Let } I=\int \cot ^{3} x \cdot \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \; d x \\ &\text { Put } \cot \mathrm{x}=t \Rightarrow-\operatorname{cosec}^{2} x\; d x=d t \end{aligned}

        \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \operatorname{cosec}^{2} x \; d x=-d t \text { then } \\ &I=\int t^{3}(-d t)=-\int t^{3} d t \end{aligned}

           \begin{aligned} &=-\frac{t^{3+1}}{3+1}+c=-\frac{t^{4}}{4}+c \quad\left[\because \int x^{n} d x=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+c\right] \\ &=\frac{-1}{4} \cot ^{4} x+c\; \; \; \; \; [\because t=\cot x] \end{aligned}
