In this section, you’ll learn
How to use substitution method?
How to use a table of integrals?
Review: Substitution
Substitution is used for integrals of the form
f u( x) u '( x)dx
Then we let u u ( x) then du u '( x)dx, and the integral becomes
f (u)du
which is expected to be simpler than the original one.
Example : Find the integral cos(2 x) dx.
Solution
Let u 2 x then du 2 dx.
The integral becomes
1 1
2 cos(2 x) 2 dx
2cos u du

sin(u) C

t
Example : Find the integral dt.
1 4t 4
Solution
t
We rewrite the integral as dt
1 (2t )
2 2
Let u 2t 2 then du 4t dt.
The integral becomes
1 du 1 1 1 1 2
4 1 u 2
tan (u ) C tan ( 2t ) C

Using a Table of integrals
A lot of integrals in the course can be done easily using a
Table of integrals (in Appendix D).
The table is divided into several sections.
Each section groups integrals with similar form.
You may need to REWRITE the integral in the form
that you can find in the table.
Example : Using a table to find the integral e2 x sin 3x dx.
Solution
We recognize this is the required formula:
We use a 2, b 3, u x. So
e 2x
2sin(3x) 3cos(3x)
e sin 3x dx C

Solution
First, we need to rewrite the integral as
dx dx dx
x2 (2x 3) x 2x 3 x 2x 3
We recognize this is the required formula:
We use a 2, b 3, u x. So,
dx 1 2x 3 3
x 2x 3 3 ln 2x 3 3

Applications
Example : Find the volume of the solid generated when the region
under the curve y x(1- x 2 )1/4 from x 0 to x 1 is revolved
about the x-axis.
Solution
We recall that the volume of the solid obtained when the region
b
under the curve y=f(x) is revolved about the x-axis is f ( x) dx.

So, V= x 2 1 x 2 dx.

We recognize this is the required formula
We use a=1, u=x, and obtain

x(1 x 2 )3/2 x 1 x 2 1 1 1 1 2
V= sin x = sin (1)
