integration by substitution.

What is a synonym for the term integration?

Antidifferentation
What is integration?

Integration is a process or operation that reverses differentiation.

The operation of integration determines the


original function when given its derivative.

You have already found a function whose derivative is the expression


in the integrand, so you already have an antiderivative.

Some integrals are chain rule problems in reverse.

If the derivative of the inside function is sitting elsewhere


in the integrand, then you can use a technique called
integration by substitution to evaluate the integral.
Integration by Substitution

 One method for evaluating


integrals involves untangling the
chain rule.
 This technique is called integration
by substitution.
 Integration by substitution is a
technique for finding the
antiderivative of a composite
function.

Integration by Substitution

 Experiment with different choices for u when using


integration by substitution.

 A good choice is one whose derivative is


expressed elsewhere in the integrand.

Conclusion

 To integrate by substitution, select an expression


for u.
 A good choice for u is one whose derivative is
expressed elsewhere in the integrand.
 Next, rewrite the integral in terms of u.
 Then, simplify the integral and evaluate.
