Answer

$$ - \frac{{{{\left( {\cot x} \right)}^2}}}{2} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {{{\csc }^2}x\cot xdx} \cr & {\text{substitute }}u = \cot x,{\text{ }}du = - {\csc ^2}xdx \cr & = \int {{{\csc }^2}x\cot xdx} = \int {u\left( { - du} \right)} \cr & = - \int u du \cr & {\text{find the antiderivative}} \cr & = - \frac{{{u^2}}}{2} + C \cr & {\text{replacing }}u = \cot x \cr & = - \frac{{{{\left( {\cot x} \right)}^2}}}{2} + C \cr} $$
