How do we evaluate definite integrals ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 where the substitution
technique may be applied?

Let us first recall how a substitution is done. Consider the indefinite integral
∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥.

In previous module we were taught the substitution rule, which allows us

to solve the given integral without having to perform tedious multiplication at all,
that is, with 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 2 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 2, we get
∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑦 54 𝑑𝑦 or ∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑢 54 𝑑𝑢

Let’s evaluate the indefinite integral

Consider the substitution 𝑢 = 𝑥 2 − 1.
Then we have
𝑑𝑢 = 2𝑥 𝑑𝑥

Since 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 is already present in the integral, we multiply and divide by 2 to obtain

’s New

The integration technique depends on the ability to recognize (or create)

integrands of the form 𝑢 𝑛 (𝑑𝑢/𝑑𝑥) or 𝑦 𝑛 (𝑑𝑦/𝑑𝑥). With more complicated
integrands it can be difficult to recognize the steps needed to rewrite the integrand
in a form that fits a basic integration formula. When this occurs, an alternative
procedure called substitution or change of variables can be helpful. With a
formal change of variables, we completely rewrite the integral in terms of
𝑢 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑢. This technique uses the Leibniz notation for the differential. That is, if
𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥), we write 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑓 ′ (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑢, and the General Power Rule takes the form
𝑑𝑢
∫ 𝑢𝑛 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑢 𝑛 𝑑𝑢
𝑑𝑥

Integration by Substitution
1. Let 𝑢 or 𝑦 be some functions of 𝑥 (usually one that appears in the integrand).
2. Solve for 𝑥 and 𝑑𝑥 in terms of 𝑢 and 𝑑𝑢.
3. Convert the entire integral to 𝑢-variable form and try to fit it to one (or more) of
the basic integration formulas. If none seems to fit, consider trying a different
substitution.
4. After integrating, rewrite the antiderivatives as a function of 𝑥.

 is It

Now, let us consider the definite integral

𝟑
∫ (𝒙 − 𝟐)𝟓𝟒 𝒅𝒙
𝟏
How do we evaluate this through substitution?
One of the critical steps in this procedure is rewriting 𝑑𝑥 in terms of the
new variable. In general, if we use the substitution
𝑢 = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) or 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑑𝑢 𝑑𝑦
we have = 𝑓′(𝑥) = 𝑓′(𝑥)
𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑥
and 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑓 ′ (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑦 = 𝑓 ′ (𝑥) 𝑑𝑥

There are two ways of approaching the solution of a definite integral

through substitution.

Method 1
We first consider the definite integral as an indefinite integral and apply the
substitution technique. The answer (antiderivative of the function) is expressed in
terms of original variable and the FTOC is applied using the limits of integration
𝑥 = 𝑎 and 𝑥 = 𝑏.

3
To illustrate, to integrate ∫1 (𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥, we first apply the substitution
technique to the indefinite integral using substitution 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 2 or 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 2 and
express the antiderivatives in terms of 𝑥 :
1
∫(𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥 = (𝑥 − 2)55 + 𝐶
55

5 NegOr_Q4_Basic Calculus11_Module6_v2
 We apply the FTOC using the original limits of integration 𝑥 = 1 and 𝑥 =
3 so we have
upper limit (b): = (𝑥 − 2) = 3 − 2 = 1
lower limit (a): = (𝑥 − 2) = 1 − 2 = −1

1 55 1 55 55

1 1

55 55

2
= 55
Note that for definite integrals, we can omit the constant of integration C in the
antiderivative since this will cancel when we evaluate at the limits of integration.

Method 2
In this method, the substitution is applied directly to the definite integral
and the limits or bound of integration are also changed according to the
substitution applied. If the substitution 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) is applied, then
limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 𝑏 are changed to 𝑓 (𝑎 )𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓(𝑏), respectively.
The FTOC is then applied to the definite integral where the integral is the function
of 𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 and using the new limits of integration 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏).

To illustrate this method, let us consider the same definite integral

3
∫1 (𝑥 − 2)54 𝑑𝑥. Applying the substitution technique, we let 𝑢 = (𝑥 − 2) so 𝑑𝑢 =
𝑑𝑥. For the limits of integration in the given definite integral, these are changed
in accordance to the substitution 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 2.

If 𝑥 = 1, then 𝑢 = 1 − 2 = −1 (lower limit) and if 𝑥 = 3 then

𝑢 = 3 − 2 = 1 (upper limit).

6 NegOr_Q4_Basic Calculus11_Module6_v2
 We then apply FTOC to the definite integrable involving the new variable
𝑢 yielding:

55 55

2
= 55
This alternative solution pays special attention to the bounds of integration
in performing a substitution. The two methods, of course, give the same result.

Let us summarize:

In applying the substitution technique of integration to the definite integral

𝑏
∫ 𝑓 (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
𝑎
the integral “ 𝑓 (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥” is replaced by an expression in terms of 𝑢 𝑜𝑟 𝑦 where 𝑢
or y is a function of 𝑥, say 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) which implies 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑓 ′ (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥. The
antiderivative, say 𝐹(𝑢) is thus expressed as a function of 𝑢.

In the first method, the variable 𝑢 is then expressed in terms of 𝑥 , giving

the antiderivative 𝐹(𝑓(𝑥)) and this is evaluated with the original bounds 𝑥 = 𝑎
and 𝑥 = 𝑏.

In the second method, we proceed with the substitution as above and the
new bounds are computed through the same equation used to perform the
substitution. Thus, if 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥), then the new bounds are
𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏)
and the definite integral is now expressed as
𝑏 𝑓 (𝑏 )
∫ (𝑓 (𝑥 ))𝑓 ′ (𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ 𝑓 (𝑢 ) 𝑑𝑦.
𝑎 𝑓 (𝑎 )

This is known as the Substitution Rule for Definite Integrals.

Method 2. Let 𝑢 = 2𝑥 − 1, and so 𝑑𝑢 = 2 𝑑𝑥. Hence, 𝑑𝑥 = 𝑑𝑢. The bounds

are then transformed as follows:
If 𝑥 = 0, then
𝑢 = 2(0) − 1 = −1
If 𝑥 = 2, then
𝑢 = 2(2) − 1 = 3

If 𝑥 = −2, then

the derivative and antiderivative of the exponential are both the exponential itself.

Now, let 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 + 1. Then 𝑑𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥, so that 𝑥 2 𝑑𝑥 = 3 𝑑𝑦.

Example 9. Evaluate the definite integral ∫3 𝑥√𝑥 − 3 𝑑𝑥 .
Solution.
Note that, if we use 𝑢 = 𝑥 − 3 we can get 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑑𝑥 which is not found in the
integrand, with this we can use another way of substitution.

We let 𝑢 = √𝑥 − 3 , we have
𝑢2 = 𝑥 − 3
𝑥 = 𝑢2 + 3
𝑑𝑥 = 2𝑢 𝑑𝑢

And the new upper and lower limits of integration are as follows.
When 𝑥 = 7, 𝑢 = √7 − 3 = 2 (upper limit)
When 𝑥 = 3, 𝑢 = √3 − 3 = 0 (lower limit)

Let us substitute, thus the u-variable form of the integral is

 I Have Learned

Complete the sentences by filling in the blanks.

This technique is called (1)__________________, and it involves a change of variable that
permits us to rewrite the integrand in a form to which we can apply the basic integration rules.
If we use substitution
𝑢 = 𝑓 (𝑥 )
𝑑𝑢
we have = (2)__________
𝑑𝑥

and 𝑑𝑢 = (3)__________.

In first method that was discussed, we first consider the definite integral as an indefinite integral
and apply the substitution technique. The answer (antiderivative of the function) is expressed
in terms of original variable and the (4)_________________________ is applied using the
limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 and 𝑥 = 𝑏.
In second method, the substitution is applied directly to the definite integral and the limits or
bound of integration are also changed according to the substitution applied. If the substitution
𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥 ) 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑥) is applied, then limits of integration 𝑥 = 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 𝑏 are changed to
(5)__________𝑎𝑛𝑑 (6)____________, respectively. The FTOC is then applied to the definite
integral where the integral is the function of 𝑦 𝑜𝑟 𝑢 and using the new limits of integration 𝑢 =
𝑓(𝑎) and 𝑢 = 𝑓(𝑏).
