question 123

Multiple Choice

Use integration by parts to establish a reduction formula for the integral.
- $$\int \cot ^ { n } x d x , n \neq 1$$

• A) \(\int \cot ^ { n } x d x = \frac { - 1 } { n - 1 } \cot ^ { n - 1 } x - \int \cot ^ { n - 2 } x d x\)
• B) \(\int \cot ^ { n } x d x = \frac { - 1 } { n - 1 } \cot ^ { n - 2 } x - \int \cot ^ { n - 1 } x d x\)
• C) \(\int \cot ^ { n } x d x = \frac { 1 } { n - 1 } \cot ^ { n - 1 } x + \int \cot ^ { n - 1 } x d x\)
• D) \(\int \cot ^ { n } x d x = - \cot ^ { n - 1 } x + \frac { 1 } { n - 1 } \int \cot ^ { n - 2 } x d x\)
