Question
Integrate the function: $\frac{{\sin x}}{{1 + \cos x}}$

Answer

Let $I = \int {\frac{{\sin x}}{{1 + \cos x}}dx} $

$= - \int {\frac{{ - \sin x}}{{1 + \cos x}}dx} $ ...(i)

Putting 1 + cos x = t

$\Rightarrow - \sin x = \frac{{dt}}{{dx}}$

$\Rightarrow - \sin xdx = dt$

$\therefore$ From eq. (i), $I = - \int {\frac{{dt}}{t}}$

= - log |t| + c

= -log |1 + cos x| + c
