Homework Statement



Find the integral of:

1 /( cos(u)^(2) sin(u) )

Homework Equations



The problem says to make the 1 in the numerator= sin(u)^(2)+cos(u)^(2)

The Attempt at a Solution



sin(u)^(2)+cos(u)^(2) / ( cos(u)^(2) sin(u) )

(What should I do first?)

Split it up into the addition of 2 fractions, then cancel like products. This will result in 2 fairly simple integrals.
