Test: Take the derivative
of the choice of u. If you
cannot find it elsewhere in
the integrand, then use a
different expression for u.

Testing Zone:
What if u 10 x 4  4 x ?
Then du 40 x 3  4 dx
What if u  x 5  x 2  1 ?
Then du 5 x  2 x dx

This expression is off only by a constant multiple.

Conclusion
 Integration by substitution is a technique for
finding the antiderivative of a composite
function.

 Experiment with different choices for u when


using integration by substitution.

 A good choice is one whose derivative is


expressed elsewhere in the integrand.
