integral of arccotan(2x)

\int a rcco tan (2 x) d x

- \frac{1}{2} a c^{2} ro ln ∣ cos (2 x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int a rcco tan (2 x) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= a ccro \cdot \int tan (2 x) d x

Simplify

a ccro : a c^{2} ro

= a c^{2} ro \cdot \int tan (2 x) d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= a c^{2} ro \cdot \int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{cos ( 2 x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= a c^{2} ro \cdot \int - \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= a c^{2} ro (- \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= a c^{2} ro (- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = cos (2 x)

= a c^{2} ro (- \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ cos (2 x) ∣)

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} a c^{2} ro ln ∣ cos (2 x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} a c^{2} ro ln ∣ cos (2 x) ∣ + C
