Indefinite Integration

Question:

Find the integral: $\int \text{cosec } x (\text{cosec } x + \cot x) \, dx$

Options:

$\cot x + \text{cosec } x + C$

$-\text{cosec }^2 x - \cot^2 x + C$

$-\cot x - \text{cosec } x + C$

$\tan x + \sec x + C$

Correct Answer:

$-\cot x - \text{cosec } x + C$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $-\cot x - \text{cosec } x + C$

We have

$\int\text{cosec } x (\text{cosec }x + \cot x) \, dx = \int \text{cosec }^2 x \, dx + \int \text{cosec }x \cot x \, dx$

$= -\cot x - \text{cosec }x + C$
