The Substitution Method Idea: To replace a relatively complicated integral by a simpler one (one from the list). This is done by adding an extra variable which we will call it u. Theorem f (g(x)) g (x) dx = f (u) du Two properties we are looking for in u: u should be an inner function. 2 Almost the derivative of u appears in the integral.
