Evaluate \(\int \left(- \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(a - x \right)}}\right)\, dx\).
💡 Concept Hints
Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: \(x \cos{\left(a \right)} + \log{\left(\left|{\sin{\left(a - x \right)}}\right| \right)} \sin{\left(a \right)}\) + C.
Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
Expand sin x=sin(x−a)cos a+cos(x−a)sin a; divide and integrate cot(x−a).
An antiderivative is F(x)=\(x \cos{\left(a \right)} + \log{\left(\left|{\sin{\left(a - x \right)}}\right| \right)} \sin{\left(a \right)}\).
Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(- \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{\sin{\left(a - x \right)}}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
