i'm not namu, but can i answer the Q? lol

well they are basically the same

ull neva be asked to 'use the reveers chain rule

but basically, with the reverse chain rule technically u do use a substitution in ur head, but when u sub in du it turns out 'nicely' ie:

INT (sinxcosx).dx

now u could use a substituion like u=sinx, but by using 'the reverse chain rule' u notice that this will yield an answer that is (1/2)(sinx)^2 + C - ie when u sub in du=cosx.dx it turns out as INT u.du, which is a very simple function, so technically they are the same thing - we call it 'ther reverse chain rule' because when u derive something via teh chain rule, u multiply teh function by it';s derivative at the end, and so if we have an integration with a function multiplied by its derivatrive, its sorta the revers, and that derivcative disappears

if u dont get it, just use a substitution, its the SAME THING, ur just doing more owrking out on the page, which is a good thing!

BUT dont worry about it

if u do 4U u'll get the hang of things and itll be much smoother in the integration chapter
Oooh, thank you thank you. :D :D

I get it now. :D

Your the person who came into the thread. Posted up crap and then blamed people when you got the wrong solution yourself.

The x = u^2 - 1 might throw off a few people. Just make it rearrange it to u^2 = x + 1. I always did these kind of integrals with "u^2" and not just "u" as you don't get involved with any nasty ^1/2s and are less prone to making simple errors.

well sorry, no body asked for ur opinion btw i worked out that i haven't covered intergration by substitution yet hence the mistake i made. i've fixed it tho. shano i believe u should get a life the only reason i keep posting comments cause its soooo funni how serious u take this hahaha. jokes on u mate and if u reply to this i will be laughing harder.

you should stop lying. It's becoming a really bad habit.
btw, i haven't done integration at school yet. So you should be better off than me.
I'm just lolling at the crap you keep posting lol.

I just want to learn integration =(
INTERGRATION IS FUN YOU WILL GET THE HANG OF IT ONCE YOU LEARN IT. MATHS IS A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY. THE HSC IS A FIELD TO EXTRAPOLATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE. HAVE FUN

2008 2UNIT, EXT 1 AND 2 MATHS EXAMS WHERE TANGIBLE.
I KNOW BECAUSE I STUDY EFFICENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY

this is an ext1 maths forum. not a place to pour your heart out.
regardless. who wants to solve my question ! i feel dumb not getting the answer.

this is definite integrals however. i know you want to.

Int from -3 to 1, dx/sqrt(x+3) using x = u^2 - 3.
i got up to the last part but solutions say 2Int from 0 to 2, du. but i don't get how the u's have cancelled out to make a one.

if you solve this you have def. won this form fight shenangian.
xo.

YOU ARE SUCH A 4UNIT LOSER
REAL STUDENTS DONT NEED TO GO POSTING ON THE NET TO FIND HELP
NEXT TIME RETHINK THE LEVEL MATHS YOU ARE DOING. I THINK IT IS CONSUMING YOU.
ANYWAY I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR PETTY PROBLEM I VE DONE THE HSC THIS YEAR I ACED 4UNIT . ITS AN ARTFORM

They're right in changing the boundaries to 0 and 2. When you change dx into du, you have yet to change the boundary values from x to u. Hence, you need to find the value of u which gives you the boundary values for x in the original question.
