Derivates and Integrals... I am missing something fundamental. example 1: find the primitive function of 1/ (2x + 1)^2. Easy enough, substitute 2x + 1 = u du/dx = 2 the integral for 1/u^2 du = (1/-u) * du => -2/(2x +1). Second example, bear with me, the problem comes after this... find the primitive function of (sinx)^2*cosx sinx = u , du/dx = cosx the integral becomes : u^2 * du/dx Primitive function should be, atleast going from the first example, u^3/3 * du/dx. => (sinx^3/3) * cosx. Thing is, the du/dx seemingly "dissapears" this time. why?
