#C# where #C# is an arbitrary constant.

Recall that #cscx=1/sinx.# Rewrite the integral:

#int(sinx-1/cscx)dx=int(sinx-1/(1/sinx))dx#

#=int(sinx-sinx)dx#

#=int(0)dx=C# where #C# is an arbitrary constant.

We can easily see this is true as the derivative of any constant #C#, or #d/dx(C),# is #0.#

#C#, in which #C# is a constant.

Given: #intsinx-1/cscx \ dx#.

Notice how 1/cscx=sinx#, so the integral becomes:

#=intsinx-sinx \ dx#

#=int0 \ dx#

#=C#
