Показать описание
In this video, we find the integral or anti-derivative of cot^2(x). We approach this by first revising the derivative of cot(x), which equals -csc^2(x).

Then, by the Pythagorean Trigonometric identity: cot^2(x) + 1 = csc^2(x). We can rearrange this equation to:

cot^2(x) = csc^2(x) - 1

Realising that -csc^2(x) derivative of cot(x), we can write the above as:

cot^2(x) = -d/dx[cot(x)] - 1
