Integraal van $$$\csc^{4}{\left(x \right)}$$$

Bepaal $$$\int \csc^{4}{\left(x \right)}\, dx$$$.

Factoriseer twee cosecanten uit en schrijf al het overige in termen van de cotangens, met behulp van de formule $$$\csc^2\left( \alpha \right)=\cot^2\left( \alpha \right)+1$$$ met $$$\alpha=x$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\csc^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(\cot^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)} d x}}}$$

Zij $$$u=\cot{\left(x \right)}$$$.

Dan $$$du=\left(\cot{\left(x \right)}\right)^{\prime }dx = - \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)} dx$$$ (de stappen zijn te zien »), en dan geldt dat $$$\csc^{2}{\left(x \right)} dx = - du$$$.

De integraal wordt

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(\cot^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 1\right) \csc^{2}{\left(x \right)} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\left(- u^{2} - 1\right)d u}}}$$

Pas de constante-veelvoudregel $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$ toe met $$$c=-1$$$ en $$$f{\left(u \right)} = u^{2} + 1$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\left(- u^{2} - 1\right)d u}}} = {\color{red}{\left(- \int{\left(u^{2} + 1\right)d u}\right)}}$$

Integreer termgewijs:

$$- {\color{red}{\int{\left(u^{2} + 1\right)d u}}} = - {\color{red}{\left(\int{1 d u} + \int{u^{2} d u}\right)}}$$

Pas de constantenregel $$$\int c\, du = c u$$$ toe met $$$c=1$$$:

$$- \int{u^{2} d u} - {\color{red}{\int{1 d u}}} = - \int{u^{2} d u} - {\color{red}{u}}$$

Pas de machtsregel $$$\int u^{n}\, du = \frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ toe met $$$n=2$$$:

$$- u - {\color{red}{\int{u^{2} d u}}}=- u - {\color{red}{\frac{u^{1 + 2}}{1 + 2}}}=- u - {\color{red}{\left(\frac{u^{3}}{3}\right)}}$$

We herinneren eraan dat $$$u=\cot{\left(x \right)}$$$:

$$- {\color{red}{u}} - \frac{{\color{red}{u}}^{3}}{3} = - {\color{red}{\cot{\left(x \right)}}} - \frac{{\color{red}{\cot{\left(x \right)}}}^{3}}{3}$$

Dus,

$$\int{\csc^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x} = - \frac{\cot^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cot{\left(x \right)}$$

Voeg de integratieconstante toe:

$$\int{\csc^{4}{\left(x \right)} d x} = - \frac{\cot^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cot{\left(x \right)}+C$$

$$$\int \csc^{4}{\left(x \right)}\, dx = \left(- \frac{\cot^{3}{\left(x \right)}}{3} - \cot{\left(x \right)}\right) + C$$$A
