EDIT: I am pretty sure I message up when I cancelled out stuff by leaving cos(x) and sin(x) instead of making them 1 / sin(x) and 1 / cos(x)
Alright, so I have been trying to figure out this problem and the solution I get is incorrect
The problem (int) is suppose to be the integral symbol
(int) 3 [ (cos(x) + sin(x)) / sin (2x) ] dx
I use sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x) which gives me
3 (int) [ (cos(x) + sin(x)) / (2sin(x)cos(x)) ] dx
I then take out 1/2 and split
3/2 (int) [ (cos(x) / sin(x)) + (sin(x) / cos(x)) ] dx
Then I use some trig identities to get
3/2 (int) [ cot(x) + tan(x) ] dx
Then some integral identities to get
3/2 [ ln|sin(x)| -ln|cos(x)| ]
Then just multiply through to get
3/2ln|sin(x)| - 3/2ln|cos(x)| + C
So what am I doing wrong?
