Question
ok ...i seem to be having a problem sending you the questions  so may be i can word it correctly. one question i have
i have find the integral of cosx/(1-cos^2x)

Answer
f(x)=cos[x]/(1-cos[x]^2)=cos[x]/sin[x]^2 . ("cosx[x]^2+sin[x]^2=1") .
Note that (sin[x])'=cos[x] & [1/f(x)]'=-f'(x)/f(x)^2 . So we can conclude that
cos[x]/sin[x]^2=(1/sin[x])' . Thus :
Integral of { cosx/(1-cos^2x) } = Integral of { (1/sin[x])' } = -1/sin[x] .
