C where C is an arbitrary constant.

Explanation:

Recall that cscx=1/sinx. Rewrite the integral:

int(sinx-1/cscx)dx=int(sinx-1/(1/sinx))dx

=int(sinx-sinx)dx

=int(0)dx=C where C is an arbitrary constant.

We can easily see this is true as the derivative of any constant C, or d/dx(C), is 0.

C, in which C is a constant.

Explanation:

Given: intsinx-1/cscx \ dx.

Notice how 1/cscx=sinx#, so the integral becomes:

=intsinx-sinx \ dx

=int0 \ dx

=C
