Sorry, I confused the chain rule and the Leibniz rule. The chain rule corresponds to the substitution rule and the Leibniz rule corresponds to integration by parts. The shortest way to see the equation in (4) is to use the notation with the ##d##'s, also called Leibniz notation. Here we get by the substitution ##g(x)=u##quicksilver123 said:Could you explicitly explain the correct method in terms of your liebnitz Rule?
The substitution rule, also known as u-substitution, is typically used when the integrand (the function being integrated) contains a composite function, meaning a function within a function. For example, if the integrand is in the form of f(g(x)), where f and g are functions, you would use the substitution rule.
The first step is to identify the inner function, also known as the u-function, within the integrand. This will be the function that you will substitute with a new variable, usually denoted as u.
The substitution variable should be chosen to eliminate the inner function and make the integral easier to solve. A common method is to choose a variable that is equal to the inner function, or a derivative of the inner function. You can also choose a variable that will cancel out some terms in the integrand.
Yes, the substitution rule can be used for both indefinite and definite integrals. When using it for a definite integral, be sure to substitute the limits of integration as well.
If the substitution rule does not seem to work, you can try a different substitution or try using other integration techniques such as integration by parts or partial fractions. It is also helpful to double check your work and make sure you applied the substitution correctly.
