Worksheet 2 - Practice with Integration by Substitution
2. Find and correct the mistakes in the following “solutions” to these integration problems.
Z
a) sin 5x dx; u = 5x, du = 5dx
Z Z
sin 5x dx = 5 sin u du = −5 cos u + C = −5 cos 5x + C
Z
cos x
b) dx; u = sin x, du = cos xdx
1 + sin2 x
Z Z
cos x du
dx = = ln |1 + u2 | + C = ln |(1 + sin2 x)| + C
1 + sin2 x 1 + u2
