When using a change of variables u = g(𝓍) to evaluate the definite integral ∫ₐᵇ ƒ(g(𝓍)) g' (𝓍) d(𝓍), how are the limits of integration transformed?

Recognize that when performing a substitution in a definite integral, the variable of integration changes from \( x \) to \( u = g(x) \).
The original integral is \( \int_a^b f(g(x)) g'(x) \, dx \). After substitution, \( dx \) is replaced by \( \frac{du}{g'(x)} \), but since \( du = g'(x) dx \), the integral becomes \( \int_{u(a)}^{u(b)} f(u) \, du \).
To find the new limits of integration, evaluate the substitution function \( g(x) \) at the original limits: the lower limit \( a \) transforms to \( u(a) = g(a) \), and the upper limit \( b \) transforms to \( u(b) = g(b) \).
Thus, the definite integral with respect to \( x \) from \( a \) to \( b \) is equivalent to the integral with respect to \( u \) from \( g(a) \) to \( g(b) \).
This change of limits ensures the integral remains consistent under the substitution and allows you to evaluate the integral in terms of \( u \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Change of Variables (Substitution) in Integration

This technique simplifies integrals by substituting a new variable u = g(x), transforming the integral into terms of u. It helps to rewrite complex integrals into more manageable forms by changing the variable of integration.

Substitution With an Extra Variable

Derivative of the Substitution Function

When substituting u = g(x), the differential dx is replaced by du = g'(x) dx. This derivative g'(x) adjusts the integrand to maintain equivalence between the original and transformed integrals.

Substitution With an Extra Variable

Transformation of Limits of Integration

In definite integrals, the original limits a and b in terms of x must be converted to new limits in terms of u by evaluating u = g(a) and u = g(b). This ensures the integral's bounds correspond correctly to the substituted variable.
