  1. When to do u-substitution and when to integrate by parts

    ∫ udu ∫ u d u Integration by parts is for functions that can be written as the product of another function and a third function's derivative. ∫ udv ∫ u d v A good rule of thumb to follow would be …

  2. How do I pick the right "u" for u substitution and when do I know I ...

    Jan 24, 2021 · My questions are: What to pick u u when it isn’t as clear? (e.g. How do I come up with the x/4 x / 4?) Are there any tricks to spot it at first glance? Are there practice problems to …

  3. calculus - Substitution in double integrals. When can I substitute …

    Dec 4, 2023 · I approached it initially using traditional u-substitution similar to one-dimensional integrals. Surprisingly, it yielded the correct result, but as I delved deeper into my textbook, I …

  4. calculus - The formalism behind integration by substitution ...

    When you are doing an integration by substitution you do the following working.

  5. integration - u-substitution for a definite integral - Mathematics ...

    I want to solve the following integral: $$\\int_{-2}^2 \\sqrt{4- x^2} dx$$ I am thinking of doing a u-substitution of the whole term inside the root. If I do this, I need to change the limits of the

  6. calculus - U-sub without changing the bounds of integration ...

    Apr 11, 2021 · The best way to do that is to use a substitution, namely you will let u = sin(x) du = cos(x)dx u = sin (x) d u = cos (x) d x, And you have to change the bounds of integration, so the …

  7. integration - Why does making the 'wrong' $u$-substitution still …

    The substitution rule is always valid, regardless of the substitution made (so long as it is well defined). This is because the theorem that introduces substitutions effectively states "integral …

  8. Changing bounds with integration using $u$ substitution

    I know that u u would be equal to 25 −x2 25 x 2 and du d u would equal −2xdx 2 x d x. Then you would pull the −1/2 1 / 2 out front and then integrate u u to 23u3/2 2 3 u 3 / 2. I'm getting …

  9. u-substitution of indefinite integrals without algebraically ...

    Feb 8, 2024 · So knowing that these functions are there behind the scenes, you can manipulate differentials in confidence that your calculations are valid. This works for integration by …

  10. calculus - For u-substitution of a definite integral, is it acceptable ...

    Oct 9, 2018 · For u-substitution of a definite integral, is it acceptable to have the limits (bounds) of the new integral equal to one another?
