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

  1. Esme wants a substitution for ∫ 2x(x² + 1)⁵ dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?

    • u = 2x, du = 2 dx
    • u = x² + 1, du = 2x dx
    • u = x² + 1, du = 2x² dx
  2. Jun wants a substitution for ∫ 3x²√(x³ + 4) dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?

    • u = x³ + 4, du = 3x³ dx
    • u = x³ + 4, du = 3x² dx
    • u = 3x², du = 6x dx
  3. 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
  4. Luz wants a substitution for ∫ cos x · e^(sin x) dx. Which u and du make it a basic integral?

    • u = cos x, du = −sin x dx
    • u = sin x, du = cos x dx
    • u = sin x, du = −cos x dx
  5. Noah writes ∫ x(x² + 5)⁴ dx = a(x² + 5)⁵ + C. What is a?

  6. Ren writes ∫ x(x² + 2)⁵ dx = a(x² + 2)⁶ + C. What is a?

  7. Zee writes ∫ x(x² + 7)² dx = a(x² + 7)³ + C. What is a?

  8. Tala substitutes u = x² + 1 in ∫ from 0 to 2 of 2x(x² + 1)³ dx. What is the new upper limit for u?

  9. Pia substitutes u = x² + 4 in ∫ from 0 to 3 of 2x(x² + 4)³ dx. What is the new upper limit for u?

  10. Esme substitutes u = x² + 2 in ∫ from 0 to 4 of 2x(x² + 2)³ dx. What is the new upper limit for u?

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.
