This guide walks you through the process of integration by substitution, emphasizing its significance in calculus. Starting with the inner function, you will learn the steps of cross-multiplying, substituting into the original integral, and ultimately taking the integral to express the final answer in terms of x. This method not only simplifies complex integrals but also serves as a foundation for understanding calculus concepts such as derivatives and their applications in real-world scenarios, including population growth and optimization.

Let w be the inside function • Write • Do cross-multiply • Back to the given integral and do the substitution • Take the integral • Express the final answer in term of x
Yah! We are done. • What have you studied in MAT 116? • What is Calculus?
What is “calculus”? • Calculus is the study of how things change. • What do you learn in a calculus class? • Functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, … • Derivatives can used to study applications that involve the rate of change such as population growth, radioactive decay, optimization problems, … • Integrals can be used to calculate the area, equation of a curve, business sales, … • How do algebra and calculus differ? Ex: Solving equations to find a particular value of a variable Ex: How a change in a variable affects another variable?
