To tackle the integration of the expression \( \frac{1}{\sin x} + \cos x + \sec x + \tan x + \csc x + \cot x \) with respect to \( x \), we can break it down into manageable parts. Each term can be integrated separately, and then we can combine the results. Let's go through this step by step.
Breaking Down the Expression
The expression consists of several trigonometric functions. Here’s a quick recap of what each term represents:
- \(\frac{1}{\sin x}\) is the cosecant function, \(\csc x\).
- \(\cos x\) is the cosine function.
- \(\sec x\) is the secant function, which is \(\frac{1}{\cos x}\).
- \(\tan x\) is the tangent function, which is \(\frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\).
- \(\csc x\) is the cosecant function, which is \(\frac{1}{\sin x}\).
- \(\cot x\) is the cotangent function, which is \(\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}\).
Integrating Each Term
Now, let’s integrate each term one by one:
1. Integrating \(\csc x\)
The integral of \(\csc x\) is:
\[
\int \csc x \, dx = \ln |\csc x - \cot x| + C
\]
2. Integrating \(\cos x\)
The integral of \(\cos x\) is straightforward:
\[
\int \cos x \, dx = \sin x + C
\]
3. Integrating \(\sec x\)
The integral of \(\sec x\) is:
\[
\int \sec x \, dx = \ln |\sec x + \tan x| + C
\]
4. Integrating \(\tan x\)
The integral of \(\tan x\) is:
\[
\int \tan x \, dx = -\ln |\cos x| + C
\]
5. Integrating \(\csc x\) (again)
As mentioned earlier, the integral of \(\csc x\) is:
\[
\int \csc x \, dx = \ln |\csc x - \cot x| + C
\]
6. Integrating \(\cot x\)
The integral of \(\cot x\) is:
\[
\int \cot x \, dx = \ln |\sin x| + C
\]
Combining the Results
Now that we have the integrals of each term, we can combine them:
\[
\int \left( \frac{1}{\sin x} + \cos x + \sec x + \tan x + \csc x + \cot x \right) dx = \ln |\csc x - \cot x| + \sin x + \ln |\sec x + \tan x| - \ln |\cos x| + \ln |\csc x - \cot x| + \ln |\sin x| + C
\]
Final Expression
After combining like terms and simplifying, the final result can be expressed as:
\[
\int \left( \frac{1}{\sin x} + \cos x + \sec x + \tan x + \csc x + \cot x \right) dx = \sin x + \ln |\sec x + \tan x| + \ln |\sin x| + C
\]
