Detail solution
We have the integral:
  /           
 |            
 |     1      
 | 1*------ dx
 |   sin(x)

/             
The integrand
  1   
------
sin(x)
Multiply numerator and denominator by
sin(x)
we get
  1      1*sin(1*x)
------ = ----------
sin(x)      2      
         sin (1*x) 
Because
sin(a)^2 + cos(a)^2 = 1
then
   2             2   
sin (x) = 1 - cos (x)
transform the denominator
1*sin(1*x)     1*sin(1*x) 
---------- = -------------
   2                2     
sin (1*x)    1 - cos (1*x)
do replacement
u = cos(x)
then the integral
  /                  
 |                   
 |   1*sin(1*x)

 |

Because du = -dx*sin(x)

Rewrite the integrand
  1*sin(1*x)    1*-1 /  1       1  \
