Answer

$y=\sin x(-\ln |sin x|+C)$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$y'=\cos x(\csc x-1)$$ $$y'=\cos x \csc x - \cos x$$ $$y'-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}=-\cos x$$ Integrating factor: $$I=e^{-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}dx}=e^{-\ln |\sin x|}=(\sin x)^{-1}$$ The equation becomes: $$\frac{d}{dx}(y(\sin)^{-1})=-\frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$$ Integrating both sides: $$\frac{y}{\sin x}=-\ln |\sin x|+C$$ $$y=\sin x(-\ln |sin x|+C)$$ The general solution is $y=\sin x(-\ln |sin x|+C)$
