Although this procedure can involve more written steps than the pattern recognition illustrated in Examples 1 to 3, itis useful for complicated integrands. The change of variable technique uses the Leibniz. notation for the differential. That is, if u = g(x), then du = g(x) dx, and the integral in ‘Theorem 4.12 takes the form Jrconetaa = fro du = Flu) + € Example 4 Change of Variables find [ Y25=Ta Vine Solution First, let « be the inner function, u = 2x — 1.

Solution As in the previous example, let w= 2x1 and obtain ax = du/2. Because the integrand contains a factor of x, you must also solve for x in terms of tu, as follows. 2x-1 > 2 w+ y/o Now, using substitution, you obtain the following. ove for xin terms of fee + 0 au Uf? we isa 5a) *¢ 1 sn y 1 3/2 9 1s? 6 IF c 326 CHAPTER 4 Integration STUDY'IP When making 4 change of variables, be sure tat your answer is Sven using the same variables a in ‘he original integrand Fr instance, in Example 6, you should no eave yout wee but rather, replace u by sin 3x ‘To complete the change of variables in Example 5, we solved for x in terms of y ‘Sometimes this is very difficult.

Explain your cma 3 Tres I SECTION 4.5 Integration by Substitution 327 ‘The General Power Rule for Integration One of the most common w-substitutions involves quantities in the integrand that are raised to a power. Because of the importance of this type of substitution, it is given a special name—the General Power Rule for integration. A proof of this rule follows directly from the (simple) Power Rule for integration, together with Theorem 4.12. ‘THEOREM 4.13 The General Power Rule for Integration If g isa differentiable function of x, then fiecor et ar= WOU nen nei Equivalently, if « = g(x), then ni Example 7 _ Substitution and the General Power Rule aw “/s a prox nar= [or 116) de = BW 2 vp » fe: + ler + a) de fee +94 Dac= EA ge ae) « fever Bae= fo- avaartydr = PP" ow een ae ee eon Gey o [pa fa 222)-2(— da) de = + ed ep e. foots sinxde = = feos? sin) Some integrals whose integrands involve a quantity raised to @ power cannot be found by the General Power Rule. Consider the two integrals, poe + 1Pdx and foe + Dd, ‘The substitution w= x? + 1 works in the first integral but not in the second, (In the second, the substitution fails because the integrand lacks the factor x needed for du.) Fortunately, for this particular integral, you can expand the integrand as (2 + 1)? = x! + 2x + 1 and use the (simple) Power Rule to integrate each term,
