This document discusses integration by substitution. It provides an example of recognizing a composite function and rewriting the integral in terms of the inside and outside functions. Specifically, it shows rewriting the integral of (x2 +1)2x dx as the integral of the outside function (x2 + 1) with the inside function (x) plugged in, plus a constant. It then provides additional practice problems applying the technique of substitution to rewrite integrals in terms of u-substitutions.

+1) 2x dx

From doing derivatives we need to recognize the integrand above
is a composite function from the derivative of the outside times
the derivative of the inside (chain rule).

+ C since this is an
indefinite integral
3. Think of this function as 2 functions: f(x) and g(x)
f ( x) = x
g ( x) = x + 1

As a composite function then:

f ( g ( x) ) = x + 1

antiderivative of the outside
function with the inside
