Question
Evalute the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\text{cosec x}}{\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\int\frac{\text{cosec x}}{\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\text{dx}\ .....(\text{i})$
Let $\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\text{t}$ then,
$\text{d}\Big[\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big]=\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\text{cosec x dx}=\text{dt}$
$\Rightarrow\text{dx}=\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{cosec x}}$
Putting $\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\text{t}$ and $\text{dx}=\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{cosec x}}$ in equation (i), we get
$\text{I}=\int\frac{\text{cosec x}}{\text{t}}\times\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{cosec x}}$
$=\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\text{t}}$
$=\log|\text{t}|+\text{C}$
$=\log\Big|\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big|+\text{C}$
$\therefore\text{I}=\log\Big|\log\tan\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big|+\text{C}$
