Computing the Antiderivative of a

Function Using Substitution Rule

A function F is called an antiderivative of f on the integral [a,b] if F’(x) = f(x)

for all
x in [a,b]. If x is either a or b, then F’(x)need only to be a one-sided
derivative. The general
antiderivative of f(x)is given by
∫ 𝑓(𝑥 )𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹 (𝑥 ) + 𝐶
where C is any constant.
The expression ∫ 𝒇(𝒙)𝒅𝒙 means we are integrating the function f with respect to x.
The symbol ∫ is the integration symbol. The function f(x) is the integrand, x the
integration
variable, and C is a constant.
Take note of the notation dx. It is called the differential of x. If we are looking
for the
antiderivative of f(x), the integration sign must be finished with the symbol dx.
Whenever
you see the integral sign ∫, always close it by the differential dx if the function
whose
antiderivative you are looking for is a function of x. Consider the examples below.
∫ cos 3𝑥 𝑑𝑥

∫ 5𝑡 2 𝑑𝑡

∫ 1+𝑦2 𝑑𝑦

∫ tan−1 2𝑤 𝑑𝑤

is It
We will now use substitution as a technique in integration.
Substitution Rule
∫ 𝒇[𝒈(𝒙)]𝒈′(𝒙)𝒅𝒙 = ∫ 𝒇(𝒖) 𝒅𝒖

where 𝒖 = 𝒈(𝒙) and 𝒅𝒖 = 𝒈′ (𝒙)𝒅𝒙

Substitution rule is like applying chain rule in reverse. By making the

substitution,
we change the appearance of the variable and integrands. One challenge which often
perplexes students is choosing which substitution to make. For example, let us
consider the
integral
∫(𝑥 + 7)9 𝑑𝑥
If we should rely only on the rules we have introduced so far, to perform this
integration, first we must expand the binomial. After which, we integrate the
polynomial
4

NegOr_Q4_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
function term by term using the power rule. But to obtain the binomial expansion of
(𝑥 + 7)9
is already, by itself, an excruciating task. However, there is a way to obtain the
antiderivative
without performing this expansion. This, we do, by making the appropriate
substitution.
Before we present examples on the substitution rule, first we define the
differential.
Differential
Given a function 𝑢 = 𝑔(𝑥) which is differentiable on [a,b]. The differential 𝑑𝑢 is
defined as follows
𝑑𝑢 = 𝑔′(𝑥) ∙ 𝑑𝑥
Example 1. Applying substitution rule to ∫(𝒙 + 𝟕)𝟗 𝒅𝒙
Obtain the integral ∫(𝑥 + 7)9 𝑑𝑥 using substitution rule.
Solution
Suppose 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 7, then 𝑔’(𝑥) = 1. If we let 𝑢 = 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 7, by definition of
the
differential 𝑢, we get
𝑑𝑢 = 𝑔′(𝑥 )𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑥.
The original integral takes a new form.
∫(𝑥 + 7)9 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑢9 𝑑𝑢
Using the power rule, this is
1

∫(𝑥 + 7)9 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑢9 𝑑𝑢 = 10 𝑢10 + 𝐶.

Substituting back 𝑥 + 7 for 𝑢, we get,
1

∫(𝑥 + 7)9 𝑑𝑥 = 10 (𝑥 + 7)10 + 𝐶.

To check that this is the antiderivative indeed, find the derivative of the
antiderivative.
𝐷𝑥 [

1
(𝑥 + 7)10 + 𝐶] = (𝑥 + 7)9
10

We got it right.

NegOr_Q4_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
Example 2. Applying substitution rule on ∫ 𝟑𝒙𝟐 (𝒙𝟑 − 𝟔)𝟓 𝒅𝒙
Use substitution rule to integrate ∫ 𝟑𝒙𝟐 (𝒙𝟑 − 𝟔)𝟓 𝒅𝒙.
Solution
Choose 𝑢 = 𝑥 3 − 6, because obtaining the differential in 𝑢 gives us the form we
are looking
for. Thus,
𝑑𝑢 = 3𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥.
Let us go back to the original expression and see where our substitution fits in.
∫ 3𝑥 2 (𝑥 3 − 6)5 𝑑𝑥 = ∫(𝑥 3 − 6)5 (3𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 ) = ∫ 𝑢5 𝑑𝑢
1

= 6 𝑢6 + 𝐶 = 6 (𝑥 3 − 6)6 + 𝐶
Example 3. Applying substitution rule to ∫ 𝒆𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝒙 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝒙 𝒅𝒙
Use substitution rule to find ∫ 𝒆𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝒙 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝒙 𝒅𝒙.
Solution
Let 𝑢 = cos 𝑥, then
𝑑𝑢 = − sin 𝑥𝑑𝑥 ⟺ −𝑑𝑢 = sin 𝑥 𝑑𝑥.
Make the substitution
∫ 𝑒 cos 𝑥 sin 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑒 𝑢 (−𝑑𝑢) = − ∫ 𝑒 𝑢 𝑑𝑢
= −𝑒 cos 𝑥 + 𝐶.
If you want to check if this answer is right, all you have to do is obtain the
derivative
of the antiderivative. Check it out yourself.
Most students who are new to integral calculus are often lost about which
substitution
to make. They would be more than happy to know if there is a rule of thumb about
how to do
the substitution. The reply to this request would surely disappoint you. There is
no rule of
thumb for substitution rule. What will help you here is your familiarity with
differentiation
formulas. If you know a lot of them, that will be a big help. To test if your
choice of 𝑢 is
correct, you will have to obtain 𝑑𝑢 and check if your choice of 𝑢 and the resulting
𝑑𝑢 fit the
integrand you are working on. Solve more exercises on this module. It is your
familiarity

NegOr_Q4_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
with derivatives and the time you spend using substitution rule which will make
integration
easier.

Direction: Find the antiderivative given the function ∫(5𝑥 + 2)7 𝑑𝑥 and its

If it was in this form,

So let’s make it so by doing this:
1
∫(5𝑥 + 2)7 5 𝑑𝑥

The 5 and 5 cancel out so all is fine.

And now we can have 𝑢 = 5𝑥 + 2 and that 𝑑𝑢 = 5𝑑𝑥. Thus,
