You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) ∫( (x^2x) / ((3 + x^3)^2) ) Substitution, u = x^3

\n" ); document.write( "I assume this is supposed to be:
\n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \"%28+%28%28x%5E2%29dx%29+%2F+%28%283+%2B+x%5E3%29%5E2%29+%29\" Substitution, u = x^3
\n" ); document.write( "Actually a better substitution would be: \"u+=+3+%2B+x%5E3\" but what you were given will still work. We start by finding the derivative of both sides of \"u+=+x%5E3\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28du%29%2F%28dx%29+=+3x%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides of this by dx we get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"du+=+3x%5E2%2Adx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Looking at the original integral we can see the \"x%5E2%2Adx%29\" but not the 3. So we can \"move\" the 3 by multiplying both sides by \"1%2F3\" (or divide both sides by 3):
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%29du+=+x%5E2%2Adx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now we can substitute u for \"x%5E3\" and \"%281%2F3%29du\" for \"x%5E2%2Adx\" giving:
\n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \"%28+%28%281%2F3%29du%29+%2F+%28%283+%2B+u%29%5E2%29+%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This can be rewritten as:
\n" ); document.write( "a) ∫ \"%281%2F3%29%28%283+%2B+u%29%5E-2%29du%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "If the integral above is not obvious to you, then use a second substitution: v = 3+u. Either way we should get:
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "b) ∫ \( x^7 cos x^8dx) Substitution u = x^8
\n" ); document.write( "I assume the \"\\" is a typo and that the integral is:
\n" ); document.write( "b) ∫ \"%28x%5E7%2Acos%28x%5E8%29%2Adx%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Again we start by finding the derivative of \"u+=+x%5E8\":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28du%29%2F%28dx%29+=+x%5E7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides by dx:
\n" ); document.write( "\"du+=+x%5E7%2Adx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the Commutative Property on the original integral we can see the right side of the above equation in the integral:
\n" ); document.write( "∫ \"%28cos%28x%5E8%29+%2A+x%5E7%2Adx%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So we can now substitute u for \"x%5E8\" and du for \"x%5E7%2Adx\":
\n" ); document.write( "∫ \"%28cos%28u%29+%2A+du%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is a pretty simple integral to find:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sin%28u%29+%2B+C+=+sin%28x%5E8%29+%2B+C\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
