What did I do wrong in this question? I have to find the following integral:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (rational):

substitute \(u = 3x-2\) and work it step by step

OpenStudy (amorfide):

as rational said, let u= 3x-2 then find what dx is so you get an integral in terms of u then integrate it with respect to u

rvc (rvc):

u can also expand the integral and then solve

rvc (rvc):

@ozhobbits u got ur mistake?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you write it out?

rvc (rvc):

do you the formula of expansion: \[(a+b)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

rvc (rvc):

\[(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab\]

rvc (rvc):

now expand (3x-2)^2

rvc (rvc):

where a:3x b:2

rvc (rvc):

\[here\ the\ formula\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\ use this formula\]

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you are supposed to divide by the differential of the expression inside of the bracket, not multiply
