Example Question #6 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Solve the following integral.
Here, we can use u-substitution. We'll set and we'll factor out the outside the integral.
Now let's calculate
And solve for dx.
.
Plugging these values into the integral we now get
.
We now see that the 's cancel out and we're left with an integral entirely with u.
.
We just need to replace u with its original value, doing so results in our final solution.
Example Question #2 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Solve the following indefinite integral:
To solve the following integral, we must make a substitution to create the following general form:
We make the following subsitution:
The derivative was found using the following rule:
The integral now looks like this:
Notice that it is in the same form as the integral we want.
Now use the form from above to integrate:
To finish the problem, replace u with 2x:
.
Example Question #4 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Simplify the following indefinite integral.
We can simplify
by first doing a substitution, with , which gives us , which means that . So the integral becomes
The integral can be solved using two integration by parts, which will give us
So now we just plg in into and into to get
Example Question #9 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Calculate the integral:
Pull out the constant out in front of the integral.
Use U-substitution to solve.
Example Question #3 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Solve the following indefinite integral:
The integral can be solved with a clever substitution:
The derivative was found using the following rules:
,
Then, when you rewrite the integral in terms of u, you find that you get:
The integration was performed using the following rule:
Finally, replace the u with our original term.
Example Question #11 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Solve the following indefinite integral:
The integral is found by recognizing the following integral:
To solve the integral, make the following substitution:
,
The derivative was found using the following rule:
The integral then becomes
Finish by replacing u with the original term containing x.
Example Question #12 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the following integral:
Substitution can be used to make this problem easier. Let u = sin(x). Then du = cos(x)dx. This allows us to rewrite and evaluate the original integral in terms of u as:
The final answer should be written in terms of the original variables, so substitute sin(x) for u.
Note that we could have also chosen cos(x) as u, but the above substitution avoids introducing negatives.
Example Question #13 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Evaluate the integral .
First, notice that . Use the substitution to rewrite the integral as
.
Next, recall that , so
.
Lastly, substitute in place of to write the answer in terms of the original variables.
Example Question #591 : Finding Integrals
Solve the following indefinite integral:
To solve the indefinite integral, make a simple substitution:
The integral then becomes:
After integrating, we get
The following rule was used for the integration:
Finally, replace the u with the original term containing x.
Example Question #11 : Solving Integrals By Substitution
Please solve the following integral:
We know that the derivative of is .
Doing a substitution and setting
and allows us to rewrite the integral as
which can be rewritten as .
Integrating this gets you plus a constant (which is stated in the original question that you can assume that we already have one). Substituting back in gives us the final answer, which is
.
