integral of 3/(tan(x))

\int \frac{3}{tan ( x )} d x

3 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{tan ( x )} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{tan ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 3 ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = sin (x)

= 3 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 ln ∣ sin (x) ∣ + C
