Integration By Substitution

Please see the videos below for a review of today's lesson and then some. This is a critical topic and one that just needs some practice. Please complete all of the hw assigned by Monday. As always, worked out solutions can be found in the online textbook.

We will have a test on this material the first time we meet next week. There are only two weeks left before break after this week and we have a few important topics to learn prior to that. Thanks for your hard work and understanding! We are almost there.

Videos for Integration by Substitution:
1. Introduction to Integration by Substitution
2. Basic Examples of Integration by Substitution
3. More Complex Examples of Integration by Substitution
4. Change of Variables with Integration by Substitution
5. Examples of Integration by Substitution for Definite Integrals
6. More Complex Example of Integration by Substitution for Definite Integrals

Larson 7.0 Ch 4 Section 5 #7-33 odds


Larson 7.0 Ch 4 Section 5 #41-53 odds


Larson 7.0 Ch 4 Section 5 #57-75 odds. When it says as in example 5, it means using the change of variable strategy discussed in video 4 above.

the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals

In the previous post, we have already worked with the FTC Part I or the First FTC. I include it again in this section with some additional problems to practice from Larson 7 Ch 4 Section 4.





Related to this is the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals and the Average Value of a Function. You can see that the two are just slight variations of each other. In both f(c) refers to the average value of f(x) on the closed interval [a,b].









Then we have the FTC Part 2 or the Second FTC. Once you get the idea it is fairly straight forward. When the upper limit of integration is a function of x and not just x, remember to apply the chain rule and multiply by the derivative of the upper limit.





And finally a few problems to put it all together:
