Example – Optional for Pattern Learners
1. Evaluate 23 6 .xe x dx
3. Evaluate 2cos tan sec .x x dx
Use WolframAlpha to evaluate the following.
2. Evaluate 3sin 4 2 .x x dx
Notice that each of these are of the form where u is some function of x. If is the antiderivative of f is F, what will be the answer of an indefinite integral of this form?
,f u u dx

The Substitution Rule – The Idea
sin cosxe x dxEvaluate
Clearly, the answer is e sin x + c. How do we arrive at this?
Let u = sin x. Then du/dx = cos x. Substituting this into the integral above, we get
u udue dx e du
dx
This is a simple integral that we can evaluate and get eu + c. Substituting sin x in for u, we have our answer.

The Substitution Rule
If u = g(x) is a differentiable function whose range is an interval I and f is continuous on I, then
f g x g x dx
Since,
u g x
dug x
dxdu g x dx
u du
f u du

The Substitution Rule – General Technique
1. Let u be g(x) in the composition. You may wish to rearrange the function so that anything not in the composition is in front of the dx.
2. Determine du/dx and multiply both sides by dx.
3. Divide both sides by the constant, if necessary.
Note: There are variations on this technique so it may have subtle changes in process. Also, you may have a different variable than x so us du/d[variable] in step 2.

Substitution Rule Twists - ExamplesSometimes things are not as obvious and it may not seem that you can find a u = g(x) such that du = g'(x) dx. With a little creativity, you can. You may need to solve for x in terms of u. Evaluate the following.
