New to the forums, trouble with an integral

[jhayes25]

Hello all, I am new to these forums. I'm having trouble with a problem on homework. It seems simple but it is giving me problems.

It is an indefinite integral: Integral of (Sin(2x))/(Sinx)dx

Is there a way to use substitution? Help is appreciated.

\int\frac{\sin{2x}}{\sin x}dx

Use the trig identity.

\sin{2x}=2\sin x \cos x

Use the identity:

sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x)

roco, that is correct. Obviously a newb, I have no idea how you did that. I'm sure there are stickies somewhere that I need to read.
