Document Summary

First let"s remember how we took the derivative using the chain rule. It is not as easy as it seems to be. It is sometimes helpful to use a process called substitution. Therefore, integration by substitution is related to the chain rule. Change a more complex function into a simple function of u, including the differential du. (cid:1516)(cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)(cid:1856)(cid:1876) (cid:1516)(cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1873)(cid:4667)(cid:1856)(cid:1873). Note that: (cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1873)(cid:4667) and (cid:1856)(cid:1873) need to have the same variable. In general, for the types of problems we are concerned with, there are three cases. We choose u to be one of the following: the quantity under a root or raised to a power: (base) n x dx. Note: some integrands may need to be rearranged to fit one of these cases. Find the antiderivative for the following. (remember we want to change the more complex function into a single variable like u. ) Example 4: (decide which type of the following functions)
