If function is of the form $F(\sin{x},\cos{x})dx$, then I can apply $t = \tan{\frac{x}{2}}$ substition.
Examples:
$\int \frac{1}{4+3\cos{x}}dx$
$\int \frac{\sin{x}-1}{\cos{x}+2}dx$
$\int \frac{\sin{x}}{\sin{x}+\cos{x}+1}dx$
And if function is of the form $F(\sin^2{x}, \cos^2{x}, \sin{x}\cos{x})dx$ then I can apply $t = \tan{x}$ substition.
Such as:
$\int \frac{1}{2\sin^2{x}+3\cos^2{x}} dx$
$\int \frac{1}{\cos^4{x}\sin^2{x}} dx$
Question is: what if function is of the mixed form?
- $\int \frac{\cos^3{x}}{\sin^3{x}+\sin^2{x}}dx$
or simply:
- $\int \frac{dx}{\sin^3{x}}$
I do realize some of those or all of those integrals can be solved in another way, however I'm only considering the universal substitution. What substitution should I consider when solving those 2 integrals?
Hint: For #1, $\sin^3 x + \sin^2 x = \sin^2 x (1 + \sin x)$; you can probably use a straight substitution for this, i.e. $u = \sin x, du = \cos x \ dx.$
