When to do u-substitution and when to integrate by parts
U-substitution is for functions that can be written as the product of another function and its derivative. $$\int u du$$ Integration by parts is for functions that can be written as the product of another …
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 help me gain …
integration - Why does making the 'wrong' $u$-substitution still work ...
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 A equals integral …
calculus - The formalism behind integration by substitution ...
I don't feel qualified to give a full answer, but what's going on is some deep theorems with strong hypotheses, involving pushforward measures for Lebesgue integrals, or more simply a differentiable …
calculus - U-sub without changing the bounds of integration ...
Apr 11, 2021 · I particularly think this is a good idea if your substitution is of the form $u=f (x)$ for some function $f (x)$, as to find the bounds for $u$ will then be very simple.
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 confused because …
