Integral Question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think is a situation where u-substitution would work out nicely.

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

which would i use as u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whenever doing a u-substitution, you want to take something that's difficult about the integral and see if you can see the derivative of it elsewhere in the integral. As a hint, usually square roots with stuff in it is rough.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a set up, since if you pick \(u=1+\sin(x)\) you have \(du\) staring right at you

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

Got it. Thank you both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, since it is a definite integral, don't forget to change the limits of integration so you don't have to change back

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

yup thanks
