Lesson 3.4: Type IV

Lesson Summary
This lesson will discuss how to solve integrals of the fourth type.

Learning Outcomes
Solve Type IV trigonometric integrals.

Motivation Question
How solve to trigonometric integrals that do not fit the forms discussed in this
lesson?

Discussion
When the given indefinite integral has the following forms

tan
or
cot

Where is an even positive number

is an even positive number

it is recommended to
1. Isolate a tan (or cot ) and convert it to
sec − 1
or
csc −1

2. Distribute tan (or cot )

3. Repeat process if necessary

Example 3.6
Evaluate the indefinite integral
cot

Separate one csc cot

cot = cot cot

= cot csc −1

= cot csc − cot

The first term is ready for integration. Let us break down the second term
further

= cot csc − cot cot

= cot csc − cot csc −1

= cot csc − cot csc + cot

= cot csc − cot csc + csc −1

= cot csc − cot csc + csc −

Let
= cot

= cot

= − csc

1
= −
csc
Substitute and .
1 1
= csc − − csc −
csc csc

+ csc −
