how do i integrate -- cosx/((sinx)^2 + 1) with respect to x
thanks for your help

The general formula for finding the integral of a trigonometric function is ∫f(x)dx = F(x) + C, where F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x) and C is the constant of integration.
The most commonly used trigonometric identity for solving integrals is the Pythagorean identity: sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1.
The process for evaluating integrals of trigonometric functions involves using trigonometric identities and substitution to simplify the expression, followed by using integration techniques such as u-substitution, integration by parts, or trigonometric substitution to solve for the integral.
Yes, the integral of a trigonometric function can be negative if the function has a negative area under the curve. This can occur when the function is below the x-axis or when the function oscillates between positive and negative values.
Integrals of trigonometric functions can be applied in various fields such as engineering, physics, and economics. For example, in engineering, integrals of trigonometric functions are used to calculate the area under a curve to determine the amount of work done by a force. In physics, they are used to calculate the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object in motion. In economics, they are used to model and analyze cyclical patterns in data.
