Integration Techniques and Substitutions

The video tutorial explains U-substitution in calculus, focusing on how to handle cases where the differential doesn't match exactly. It demonstrates adjusting constants by multiplying by a number and its reciprocal. The tutorial includes examples with polynomial, trigonometric, and exponential functions, showing how to apply U-substitution effectively in each case.

What is the purpose of multiplying by a constant and its reciprocal in U-substitution?

• To ensure the substitution is valid

• To simplify the integral

• To eliminate the need for integration

• To change the variable of integration

In U-substitution, what happens if the differential is off by a factor?

• You cannot perform the substitution

• You adjust by multiplying by a constant and its reciprocal

• You change the limits of integration

• You ignore the factor

In Example A, what is the chosen substitution for u?

• u = 3x - 2

• u = x + 1

• u = 2x - 1

• u = x^2 + 1

What is the purpose of multiplying the inside by 2 and the outside by 1/2 in Example A?

• To adjust the differential to match du

• To simplify the integral

• To change the variable of integration

• To eliminate the need for integration

In Example B, what is the expression chosen for u?

• u = t^4 + 5

• u = t^3 + 5

• u = t^5 + 5

• u = t^2 + 5

How is the differential adjusted in Example B?

• By multiplying by 3 and dividing by 1/3

• By multiplying by 2 and dividing by 1/2

• By multiplying by 4 and dividing by 1/4

• By multiplying by 5 and dividing by 1/5

What is the integral of u^n with respect to u?

• 1/u + C

• u^(n-1)/(n-1) + C

• u^(n+1)/(n+1) + C

• ln|u| + C

What is the integral of 1/u with respect to u?

• 1/u + C

• ln|u| + C

• u^2/2 + C

• e^u + C

In Example C, what is the chosen substitution for u?

• u = cos(theta)

• u = tan(theta)

• u = sin(theta)

• u = 1/theta

What adjustment is made to the differential in Example C?

• Multiply by 3 and divide by 1/3

• Multiply by 4 and divide by 1/4

• Multiply by 2 and divide by 1/2

• Multiply by -1 and divide by -1
