Integration by Substitution Worksheets

Compute exact integrals and sums, distinguish area from signed integrals, and include constants for indefinite integrals.

Before you begin

Manipulate algebraic expressions and understand functions, limits and derivative notation.

Worked example

Evaluate ∫ 6x(3x² + 2)^3 dx.

  1. Let u = 3x² + 2, so du = 6x dx.
  2. Integrate u raised to the given power, then substitute back.
  3. Add C.

Answer: (3x² + 2)^4/4 + C

Check your result using the method in the example before moving to the next question.
