Step-by-step explanation
By applying integration by parts $\begin{aligned} & I=-\cot x \operatorname{cosec}^3 x+\int \cot x\left(-3 \operatorname{cosec}^2 x \cot x \operatorname{cosec} x\right) d x \\ & I=-\cot x \operatorname{cosec}^3 x-3 \int \operatorname{cosec}^3 x\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 x-1\right) d x \\ & I=-\cot x \operatorname{cosec}^3 x-3 I+3 \int \operatorname{cosec}^3 x d x \end{aligned}$ let $\begin{aligned} & I_1=\int \operatorname{cosec}^3 x d x=-\operatorname{cosec} x \cot x-\int \cot ^2 x \operatorname{cosec} x d x \\ & I_1=-\operatorname{cosec} x \cot x-\int\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 x-1\right) \operatorname{cosec} x d x \end{aligned}$
