SUMMARY
The integral of x/(sin(x^2))^2 can be effectively solved using the substitution method. By letting u = x^2, the integral simplifies to (1/2)∫csc²(u) du, which leads to the solution -1/2 cot(u) + C. This method streamlines the process and avoids complications that arise from integration by parts. The final result is -1/2 cot(x^2) + C.
