Short Answer

Expert verified
The short answer to the integration question is (c) \(-\cot(x)\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify relevant trigonometric identities and substitution

We need to identify relevant trigonometric identities and substitution to solve the integration. We know that \(\cot(x) = \frac{1}{\tan(x)}\) and \(\cosec(x) = \frac{1}{\sin(x)}\). Using these relationships, we can rewrite our integrand function: \(\cot^2(x) \cdot \cosec^4(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)\sin^4(x)}\).
02

Express the integrand function in terms of sin(x) and cos(x) functions

We can now express the integrand function in terms of\(\sin(x)\) and \(\cos(x)\) functions: \(\cot^2(x) \cdot \cosec^4(x) = \frac{1}{\tan^2(x)\sin^4(x)} = \frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin^2(x) \cdot \sin^4(x)} = \frac{\cos^2(x)}{\sin^6(x)}\).
03

Apply substitution for integration

Let's apply the substitution: \(u = \sin(x)\), so \(du=\cos(x)dx\). Using this substitution, our integral becomes: \(\mathrm{I} = \int \frac{\cos^2(x) dx}{\sin^6(x)} = \int \frac{du}{u^6}\).
04

Integrate the simplified function

Now, we'll integrate the function with respect to u: \(\mathrm{I} = \int \frac{du}{u^6} = -\frac{1}{5u^5} + C\). At this step, we have found the integration of the simplified function.
05

Replace u with the original function sin(x)

Now, we'll replace u back with the original function \(\sin(x)\): \(\mathrm{I} = -\frac{1}{5\sin^5(x)} + C\).
06

Compare with the given expression and extract the value of k

Our final answer should have the form \(- \left(k^3 / 3\right) - \left(k^5 / 5\right) + c\). Comparing this expression with \(\mathrm{I} = -\frac{1}{5\sin^5(x)} + C\), we can observe that \(k = -\cot(x)\). Therefore, our correct answer is (c) \(-\cot(x)\).
