Esme wants a substitution for ∫ 2x(x² + 1)⁵ dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?
- u = x² + 1, du = 2x dx
- u = 2x, du = 2 dx
- u = x² + 1, du = 2x² dx
Kira wants a substitution for ∫ (2x + 3)(x² + 3x)⁴ dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?
- u = x² + 3x, du = (2x + 3x) dx
- u = x² + 3x, du = (2x + 3) dx
- u = 2x + 3, du = 2 dx
Luz wants a substitution for ∫ cos x · e^(sin x) dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?
- u = sin x, du = −cos x dx
- u = sin x, du = cos x dx
- u = cos x, du = −sin x dx
