=ln(sin(x))(sin(x)-1)+c, where c is a constant

Explanation

=intcos(x)ln(sin(x))dx

let's sin(x)=t, => cos(x)dx=dt

=intln(t)*1dt

Using Integration by Parts,

int(I)(II)dx=(I)int(II)dx-int((I)'int(II)dx)dx

where (I) and (II) are functions of x, and (I) represents which will be differentiated and (II) will be integrated subsequently in the above formula

Similarly following for the problem,

=ln(t)int1*dt-int((lnt)'intdt)dt

=tln(t)-int1/t*tdt

=tln(t)-t+c, where c is a constant

=t(ln(t)-1)+c, where c is a constant

=sin(x)(lnsin(x)-1)+c, where c is a constant
