Integrate Using u-Substitution integral of (5x^2-3)(2x) with respect to x
The given problem is a request to perform a definite or indefinite integration of a function using a technique called u-substitution. Specifically, the function to be integrated is (5x^2-3)(2x) with respect to the variable x. U-substitution is a method often used in calculus when an integral contains a composite function. It simplifies the integration process by substituting a part of the integrand with a new variable u, which is chosen to make the integral more manageable. The question implies finding the appropriate substitution, re-expressing the integral in terms of u, performing the integration, and then substituting back to the original variable x if it's an indefinite integral. The request is to explain what the question is asking, not to execute the integration itself.
