Theorem

$\ds \int \frac {\csc^2 a x \rd x} {\cot a x} = \frac {-\ln \size {\cot a x} } a + C$


Proof

\(\ds \frac \d {\d x} \cot x\) \(=\) \(\ds -\csc^2 x\) Derivative of Cotangent Function
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \int \frac {\csc^2 x \rd x} {\cot x}\) \(=\) \(\ds -\ln \size {\cot a x} + C\) Primitive of Function under its Derivative
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \int \frac {\csc^2 a x \rd x} {\cot a x}\) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 a \paren {-\ln \size {\cot a x} } + C\) Primitive of Function of Constant Multiple
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac {-\ln \size {\cot a x} } a + C\) simplifying

$\blacksquare$
