Do you have any questions on the method of substitution?

anonymous · Answer

u= xsin(5x^2)
u= sin(5x^2)
u= x
u= 5x^2
i got u= sin(5x^2).....

anonymous · Answer

The derivative of 5x^2 is 10x,  so try sin(u) du.

anonymous · Answer

Let  u=5x^2 then see what you need to do to get from dx to du.
