The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus gave us a method to evaluate integrals without using Riemann sums. The drawback of this method, though, is that we must be able to find an antiderivative, and this is not always easy. In this section we examine a technique, called integration by substitution, to help us find antiderivatives. Specifically, this method helps us find antiderivatives when the integrand is the result of a chain-rule derivative.
At first, the approach to the substitution procedure may not appear very obvious. However, it is primarily a visual task—that 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]\int {({x}^{2}-3)}^{3}2xdx,[/latex] we have [latex]f(x)={x}^{3},g(x)={x}^{2}-3,[/latex] and [latex]g\text{‘}(x)=2x.[/latex] Then,
and we see that our integrand is in the correct form.
The method is called substitution because we substitute part of the integrand with the variable [latex]u[/latex] and part of the integrand with du. It is also referred to as change of variables because we are changing variables to obtain an expression that is easier to work with for applying the integration rules.
Substitution with Indefinite Integrals
Let [latex]u=g(x),,[/latex] where [latex]{g}^{\prime }(x)[/latex] is continuous over an interval, let [latex]f(x)[/latex] be continuous over the corresponding range of [latex]g[/latex], and let [latex]F(x)[/latex] be an antiderivative of [latex]f(x).[/latex] Then,
Proof
Let [latex]f[/latex], [latex]g[/latex], [latex]u[/latex], and F be as specified in the theorem. Then
Integrating both sides with respect to [latex]x[/latex], we see that
If we now substitute [latex]u=g(x),[/latex] and [latex]du=g\text{‘}(x)dx,[/latex] we get
□
Returning to the problem we looked at originally, we let [latex]u={x}^{2}-3[/latex] and then [latex]du=2xdx.[/latex] Rewrite the integral in terms of [latex]u[/latex]:
Using the power rule for integrals, we have
Substitute the original expression for [latex]x[/latex] back into the solution:
We can generalize the procedure in the following Problem-Solving Strategy.
Problem-Solving Strategy: Integration by Substitution
- Look carefully at the integrand and select an expression [latex]g(x)[/latex] within the integrand to set equal to [latex]u[/latex]. Let’s select [latex]g(x).[/latex] such that [latex]{g}^{\prime }(x)[/latex] is also part of the integrand.
- Substitute [latex]u=g(x)[/latex] and [latex]du={g}^{\prime }(x)dx.[/latex] into the integral.
- We should now be able to evaluate the integral with respect to [latex]u[/latex]. If the integral can’t be evaluated we need to go back and select a different expression to use as [latex]u[/latex].
- Evaluate the integral in terms of [latex]u[/latex].
- Write the result in terms of [latex]x[/latex] and the expression [latex]g(x).[/latex]
Evaluating an inDefinite Integral Using Substitution
Use substitution to find the antiderivative of [latex]\int 6x{(3{x}^{2}+4)}^{4}dx.[/latex]
Use substitution to find the antiderivative of [latex]\int 3{x}^{2}{({x}^{3}-3)}^{2}dx.[/latex]
Sometimes we need to adjust the constants in our integral if they don’t match up exactly with the expressions we are substituting.
Using Substitution with Alteration
Use substitution to find the antiderivative of [latex]\int z\sqrt{{z}^{2}-5}dz.[/latex]
Use substitution to find the antiderivative of [latex]\int {x}^{2}{({x}^{3}+5)}^{9}dx.[/latex]
Hint
Multiply the du equation by [latex]\frac{1}{3}.[/latex]
Using Substitution with Integrals of Trigonometric Functions
Use substitution to evaluate the integral [latex]\int \frac{ \sin t}{{ \cos }^{3}t}dt.[/latex]
Use substitution to evaluate the integral [latex]\int \frac{ \cos t}{{ \sin }^{2}t}dt.[/latex]
Sometimes we need to manipulate an integral in ways that are more complicated than just multiplying or dividing by a constant. 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.

Integrals of Exponential Functions
The exponential function is perhaps the most efficient function in terms of the operations of calculus. The exponential function, [latex]y={e}^{x},[/latex] is its own derivative and its own integral.
Rule: Integrals of Exponential Functions
Exponential functions can be integrated using the following formulas.
Finding an Antiderivative of an Exponential Function
Find the antiderivative of the exponential function [latex]e[/latex]−[latex]x[/latex].
Find the antiderivative of the function using substitution: [latex]{x}^{2}{e}^{-2{x}^{3}}.[/latex]
Hint
Let [latex]u[/latex] equal the exponent on [latex]e[/latex].
A common mistake when dealing with exponential expressions is treating the exponent on [latex]e[/latex] the same way we treat exponents in polynomial expressions. We cannot use the power rule for the exponent on [latex]e[/latex]. This can be especially confusing when we have both exponentials and polynomials in the same expression, as in the previous checkpoint. In these cases, we should always double-check to make sure we’re using the right rules for the functions we’re integrating.

Rewrite the integrand in [latex]u[/latex]:
Then we have

Hint
Follow (Figure) and refer to the rule on integration formulas involving logarithmic functions.
Next, we will focus on integrals that result in inverse trigonometric functions. We have worked with these functions before. Recall from Functions and Graphs that trigonometric functions are not one-to-one unless the domains are restricted. When working with inverses of trigonometric functions, we always need to be careful to take these restrictions into account. Also in Derivatives, we developed formulas for derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions. The formulas developed there give rise directly to integration formulas involving inverse trigonometric functions.
Integrals that Result in Inverse Sine Functions
Let us begin with the three formulas. Along with these formulas, we use substitution to evaluate the integrals. We prove the formula for the inverse sine integral.
Rule: Integration Formulas Resulting in Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The following integration formulas yield inverse trigonometric functions:
-
[latex]\int \frac{du}{\sqrt{{a}^{2}-{u}^{2}}}={ \sin }^{-1}\frac{u}{a}+C[/latex]
-
[latex]\int \frac{du}{{a}^{2}+{u}^{2}}=\frac{1}{a}\phantom{\rule{0.05em}{0ex}}{ \tan }^{-1}\frac{u}{a}+C[/latex]
-
[latex]\int \frac{du}{u\sqrt{{u}^{2}-{a}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{a}\phantom{\rule{0.05em}{0ex}}{ \sec }^{-1}\frac{u}{a}+C[/latex]
Proof
Let [latex]y={ \sin }^{-1}\frac{x}{a}.[/latex] Then [latex]a \sin y=x.[/latex] Now let’s use implicit differentiation. We obtain
For [latex]-\frac{\pi }{2}\le y\le \frac{\pi }{2}, \cos y\ge 0.[/latex] Thus, applying the Pythagorean identity [latex]{ \sin }^{2}y+{ \cos }^{2}y=1,[/latex] we have [latex] \cos y=\sqrt{1={ \sin }^{2}y}.[/latex] This gives
Then for [latex]\text{−}a\le x\le a,[/latex] we have

Hint
Use the formula in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions.
Integrals Resulting in Other Inverse Trigonometric Functions
There are six inverse trigonometric functions. However, only three integration formulas are noted in the rule on integration formulas resulting in inverse trigonometric functions because the remaining three are negative versions of the ones we use. The only difference is whether the integrand is positive or negative. Rather than memorizing three more formulas, if the integrand is negative, simply factor out −1 and evaluate the integral using one of the formulas already provided. To close this section, we examine one more formula: the integral resulting in the inverse tangent function.

Key Concepts
- Substitution is a technique that simplifies the integration of functions that are the result of a chain-rule derivative. The term ‘substitution’ refers to changing variables or substituting the variable [latex]u[/latex] and du for appropriate expressions in the integrand.
- When using substitution for a definite integral, we also have to change the limits of integration.
