The substitution (change-of-variable) method mirrors the chain rule of differentiation. If u=g(x) is a differentiable function, then
∫f(g(x))g′(x)dx=∫f(u)du,
because du=g′(x)dx. Choosing u so that its derivative already appears (up to a constant) in the integrand converts a hard integral into a standard one; after integrating in u, substitute back u=g(x).
Two especially useful consequences (with u=f(x)):
∫f(x)f′(x)dx=log∣f(x)∣+c,∫f′(x)[f(x)]ndx=n+1[f(x)]n+1+c (n=−1).
Standard log-form results that follow are ∫tanxdx=log∣secx∣+c, ∫cotxdx=log∣sinx∣+c, ∫cosecxdx=log∣cosecx−cotx∣+c, and ∫secxdx=log∣secx+tanx∣+c. …
Peel off one factor of cosx for du, write cos2x=1−sin2x, and substitute u=sinx. …
Since cosx appears to an odd power, one factor of cosxdx can be reserved as du after converting the rest of cos2x into sinx.
Step 1. Split off one cosine factor. cos3x=cos2x⋅cosx=(1−sin2x)cosx.
Step 2. Substitute. Let u=sinx, so du=cosxdx.
Step 3. Rewrite. ∫sin5x(1−sin2x)cosxdx=∫u5(1−u2)du=∫(u5−u7)du.
Step 4. Integrate. 6u6−8u8+c. …
