Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. Jun writes ∫ x(4x² + 5)² dx = (4x² + 5)³/N + C. What is N?

  2. Kira writes ∫ x(5x² + 2)³ dx = (5x² + 2)⁴/N + C. What is N?

  3. Luz writes ∫ x(2x² + 7)⁴ dx = (2x² + 7)⁵/N + C. What is N?

  4. Milo evaluates ∫ from 0 to π/2 of cos x sin² x dx with u = sin x. What is it?

  5. Noah evaluates ∫ from 0 to π/2 of cos x sin³ x dx with u = sin x. What is it?

  6. Zee evaluates ∫ from 0 to π/2 of cos x sin⁵ x dx with u = sin x. What is it?

  7. Which substitution turns ∫ 4x³(x⁴ − 2)⁶ dx into a basic integral in u, for Tala?

    • u = 4x³, du = 12x² dx
    • u = x, du = dx
    • u = x⁴ − 2, du = 4x³ dx
  8. Which substitution turns ∫ e^(√x)/√x dx into a basic integral in u, for Pia?

    • u = √x, du = dx/(2√x)
    • u = 1/√x, du = −dx/(2x√x)
    • u = x, du = dx
  9. Which substitution turns ∫ x/(x² + 9) dx into a basic integral in u, for Esme?

    • u = x, du = dx
    • u = 2x, du = 2 dx, so x = u/2
    • u = x² + 9, du = 2x dx
  10. Which substitution turns ∫ (ln x)²/x dx into a basic integral in u, for Jun?

    • u = 1/x, du = −dx/x²
    • u = x, du = dx
    • u = ln x, du = dx/x

About this worksheet

Integration by substitution, indefinite and definite. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can choose u and find du for an integral that hides a chain rule.
  • I can fix the number in front when du is off by a constant.
  • I can change the limits of a definite integral to u-values.
  • I can evaluate the integral in u and check by differentiating.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

substitution: Renaming the inside part u to make an integral basic.

du: u′ dx, the small change in u.

new limits: The u-values at the old x-limits.

Common mistakes

Chose the factor outside as u. u should be the inside part whose derivative sits outside.

Picked the right u but differentiated it wrongly, so du does not match the integral.

Did not divide by 2. With u = x² + c, x dx is du/2.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with integration by substitution?

Chose the factor outside as u. u should be the inside part whose derivative sits outside.
