U-substitution With Definite Integrals
The Organic Chemistry Tutor・7 minutes read
To evaluate definite integrals using u substitution, start by integrating the function and making u equal to x squared plus 4, which allows you to replace x variables with u variables. Adjust the lower and upper limits using the u values corresponding to the x values given, and then evaluate the antiderivative of u squared from 4 to 8 to find the final answer, along with other examples that illustrate the process.
Insights
- By substituting u for x squared plus 4 in definite integrals, the process involves replacing x variables with u variables, adjusting limits accordingly, and evaluating the antiderivative to obtain the final answer.
- Utilizing u substitution in definite integrals with varying u expressions such as 16 minus x squared or 1 plus x squared requires finding du, replacing x variables with u variables, and integrating within the specified limits to derive the final result.

Evaluating Definite Integrals Using u Substitution
- To evaluate definite integrals using u substitution, start by integrating the function and making u equal to x squared plus 4, which allows you to replace x variables with u variables.
- Adjust the lower and upper limits using the u values corresponding to the x values given, and then evaluate the antiderivative of u squared from 4 to 8 to find the final answer of 448 over 3.
- In another example, set u equal to 16 minus x squared, find du as -2x dx, and replace x variables with u variables to solve for dx and integrate the expression from 16 to 0, resulting in the final answer of 256 over 3.
- For a third example, make u equal to 1 plus x squared, find du as 2x dx, and replace x variables with u variables to evaluate the definite integral from 2 to 5, leading to the final answer of 21 over 200 after simplifying the expression.
