integral of (cos(x))/((sin(x))^4)

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{( sin ( x ) ) ^{4}} d x

- \frac{1}{3} csc^{3} (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{( sin ( x ) ) ^{4}} d x

Simplify

= \int \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ^{4} ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{4}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{1}{3 u ^{3}}

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= - \frac{1}{3 sin ^{3} ( x )}

Simplify

- \frac{1}{3 sin ^{3} ( x )} : - \frac{1}{3} csc^{3} (x)

= - \frac{1}{3} csc^{3} (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{3} csc^{3} (x) + C
