Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int \frac{1}{\sin x \cos ^{3} x} d x$We know, $\sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{2} x=1$
We know, $\sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{2} x=1$
Therefore $\frac{1}{\sin x \cos ^{2} x}=\frac{\sin ^{2} x+\cos ^{2} x}{\sin x \cos ^{2} x}$
Divide each term of numerator separately by $\sin x \cos ^{3} x$
$=\frac{\sin ^{2} x}{\sin x \cos ^{3} x}+\frac{\cos ^{2} x}{\sin x \cos ^{2} x}=\frac{\sin x}{\cos ^{2} x}+\frac{1}{\sin x \cos x}$
$=\frac{\sin x}{\cos x} *\left(\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x}\right)+\frac{\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x}}{\frac{\sin x \cos x}{\cos ^{2} x}}$ (divide second term each by $\cos ^{2} x$ )
$=\tan x \sec ^{2} x+\frac{\sec ^{2} x}{\tan x}$
Therefore,
$\int \frac{1}{\sin x \cos ^{3} x} d x=\int\left(\tan x \sec ^{2} x+\frac{\sec ^{2} x}{\tan x}\right) d x$
$=\int \tan x \sec ^{2} x d x+\int \frac{\sec ^{2} x}{\tan x} d x$
Put $\tan x=t, d t=\sec ^{2} x d x$
$=\int \tan x \sec ^{2} x d x+\int \frac{\sec ^{2} x}{\tan x} d x=\int t d t+\int \frac{1}{t} d t$
$=\frac{\mathrm{t}^{2}}{2}+\operatorname{lot} \mathrm{t}+\mathrm{c}=\frac{1}{2} \tan ^{2} \mathrm{x}+\log (\tan \mathrm{x})+\mathrm{c}$
