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.

Solution:

Step 1:

Reposition the constant 2 in front of the expression (5x23) to obtain 2(5x23)xdx.

Step 2:

Set u=2(5x23). Calculate du=20xdx, which implies 120du=xdx. Substitute u and du into the integral.

Step 2.1:

Define u=2(5x23) and determine dudx.

Step 2.1.1:

Differentiate 2(5x23) with respect to x: ddx[2(5x23)].

Step 2.1.2:

Apply the constant multiple rule to find the derivative: 2ddx[5x23].

Step 2.1.3:

Use the Sum Rule to differentiate 5x23: 2(ddx[5x2]+ddx[3]).

Step 2.1.4:

Differentiate 5x2 while treating 5 as a constant: 2(5ddx[x2]+ddx[3]).

Step 2.1.5:

Apply the Power Rule, which states ddx[xn]=nxn1 for n=2: 2(5(2x)+ddx[3]).

Step 2.1.6:

Multiply 2 by 5: 2(10x+ddx[3]).

Step 2.1.7:

Since 3 is a constant, its derivative is 0: 2(10x+0).

Step 2.1.8:

Simplify the expression.

Step 2.1.8.1:

Combine 10x and 0: 2(10x).

Step 2.1.8.2:

Multiply 10 by 2 to get 20x.

Step 2.2:

Express the integral in terms of u and du: u120du.

Step 3:

Combine u and 120 to form u20du.

Step 4:

Extract the constant 120 from the integral: 120udu.

Step 5:

Integrate u with respect to u using the Power Rule to get 12u2: 120(12u2+C).

Step 6:

Simplify the expression.

Step 6.1:

Rewrite 120(12u2+C) as 12012u2+C.

Step 6.2:

Combine the constants to get 140u2+C.

Step 7:

Substitute back the original expression for u to obtain 140(2(5x23))2+C.

Knowledge Notes:

  1. u-Substitution: A technique used in integration that involves substituting part of the integral with a new variable u. This simplifies the integral, making it easier to solve.

  2. Constant Multiple Rule: When taking the derivative of a constant multiplied by a function, the derivative is the constant multiplied by the derivative of the function.

  3. Sum Rule: The derivative of a sum of two functions is the sum of the derivatives of those functions.

  4. Power Rule: A basic rule for differentiation. If f(x)=xn, then f(x)=nxn1.

  5. Integration of Power Functions: The integral of xn with respect to x is 1n+1xn+1, provided n1.

  6. Constants in Integration: Constants can be factored out of an integral. If k is a constant, then kf(x)dx=kf(x)dx.

  7. Simplification: The process of making an expression easier to understand or work with by combining like terms and using arithmetic operations.

  8. Substituting Back: After integrating with respect to u, we substitute back the original expression that u was set equal to, to return to the original variable.
