QuestionEvaluate the integral using substitution:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given the integral . . We are asked to use a suitable change of variables (also known as substitution) to evaluate the integral.
STEP 2
The integrand has the form of a product of functions, one of which is a derivative of another. This suggests that we can use the substitution method to simplify the integral.
Let's choose . This choice is motivated by the presence of in the integrand.
STEP 3
Now, we need to find the derivative of with respect to , which we'll denote as .
STEP 4
We can rewrite the derivative in terms of .
STEP 5
From the equation in4, we see that . We can substitute this into the original integral.
STEP 6
Substitute and into the integral.
STEP 7
The negative sign can be taken out of the integral.
STEP 8
Now, we can evaluate the integral of with respect to .
STEP 9
Finally, we substitute back to get the answer in terms of .
So, the solution to the integral is .
