Detail solution
  1. There are multiple ways to do this integral.

    Method #1

    1. Rewrite the integrand:

      sin(x)11(1cos(x))3=sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1\sin{\left(x \right)} 1 \cdot \frac{1}{\left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)^{3}} = - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}

    2. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      (sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1)dx=sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1dx\int \left(- \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}\right)\, dx = - \int \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}\, dx

      1. Don't know the steps in finding this integral.

        But the integral is

        12cos2(x)4cos(x)+2\frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 4 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2}

      So, the result is: 12cos2(x)4cos(x)+2- \frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 4 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2}

    Method #2

    1. Rewrite the integrand:

      sin(x)11(1cos(x))3=sin(x)cos3(x)+3cos2(x)3cos(x)+1\sin{\left(x \right)} 1 \cdot \frac{1}{\left(1 - \cos{\left(x \right)}\right)^{3}} = \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{- \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 1}

    2. Rewrite the integrand:

      sin(x)cos3(x)+3cos2(x)3cos(x)+1=sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{- \cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 1} = - \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}

    3. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      (sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1)dx=sin(x)cos3(x)3cos2(x)+3cos(x)1dx\int \left(- \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}\right)\, dx = - \int \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\cos^{3}{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} + 3 \cos{\left(x \right)} - 1}\, dx

      1. Don't know the steps in finding this integral.

        But the integral is

        12cos2(x)4cos(x)+2\frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 4 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2}

      So, the result is: 12cos2(x)4cos(x)+2- \frac{1}{2 \cos^{2}{\left(x \right)} - 4 \cos{\left(x \right)} + 2}

  2. Now simplify:

    12(cos(x)1)2- \frac{1}{2 \left(\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)^{2}}

  3. Add the constant of integration:

    12(cos(x)1)2+constant- \frac{1}{2 \left(\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)^{2}}+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

12(cos(x)1)2+constant- \frac{1}{2 \left(\cos{\left(x \right)} - 1\right)^{2}}+ \mathrm{constant}
