However, it is primarily a visual task\u2014that is, the integrand shows you what to do; it is a matter of recognizing the form of the function. So, what are we supposed to see? We are looking for an integrand of the form [latex]f\\left[g(x)\\right]{g}^{\\prime }(x)dx.[\/latex] For example, in the integral [latex]\\displaystyle\\int {({x}^{2}-3)}^{3}2xdx,[\/latex] we have [latex]f(x)={x}^{3},g(x)={x}^{2}-3,[\/latex] and [latex]g\\text{\u2018}(x)=2x.[\/latex] Then,<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"fs-id1170573442602\" class=\"equation unnumbered\" style=\"text-align: center;\">[latex]f\\left[g(x)\\right]{g}^{\\prime }(x)={({x}^{2}-3)}^{3}(2x),[\/latex]<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p id=\"fs-id1170573209422\">and we see that our integrand is in the correct form.<\/p>\r\n<p id=\"fs-id1170573431694\">The method is called <em>substitution<\/em> because we substitute part of the integrand with the variable [latex]u[\/latex] and part of the integrand with <em>du<\/em>.

We need to eliminate all the expressions within the integrand that are in terms of the original variable. When we are done, [latex]u[\/latex] should be the only variable in the integrand. In some cases, this means solving for the original variable in terms of [latex]u[\/latex]. This technique should become clear in the next example.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fs-id1170573426799\" class=\"textbook exercises\">\n<h3>Example: Finding an Antiderivative Using [latex]u[\/latex]-Substitution<\/h3>\n<p>Use substitution to find the antiderivative of [latex]\\displaystyle\\int \\frac{x}{\\sqrt{x-1}}dx.[\/latex]<\/p>\n<div class=\"qa-wrapper\" style=\"display: block\"><span class=\"show-answer collapsed\" style=\"cursor: pointer\" data-target=\"qfs-id1170572587722\">Show Solution<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"qfs-id1170572587722\" class=\"hidden-answer\" style=\"display: none\">\n<div id=\"qfs-id1170573435928\" class=\"hidden-answer\">\n<p id=\"fs-id1170573435928\">If we let [latex]u=x-1,[\/latex] then [latex]du=dx.[\/latex] But this does not account for the [latex]x[\/latex] in the numerator of the integrand.
