How to integrate cos^7 x*sinx?

So, we'll have to calculate the indefinite integral of the
function (cos x)^7*sin x.


Int (cos x)^7*sin x
dx


We'll solve the indefinite integral using substitution
technique.


We'll put cos x = t =>-sin x dx =
dt


We'll raise to 7th power cos
x:


(cos x)^7  = t^7


We'll
re-write the integral:


-Int t^7 dt = -t^8/8 +
c


We'll substitute t by cos
x:


Int (cos x)^7*sin x dx = -(cos x)^8/8 +
C

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
