(You could also have seen this by solving for x all the way down to x =
1
3
(t
5
−2)
and then differentiating with respect to t.) Now let’s look back at the integral.
There are three pieces: x,
5
√
3x + 2, and dx. The second piece is just t itself,
and we have just worked out the third piece in the above equation. How about
the first piece, x? Well, we know t
5
= 3x + 2, so we can rearrange this to get
x =
1
3
(t
5
− 2). All in all the integral becomes
Z
x
5
√
3x + 2 dx =
Z
1
3
(t
5
− 2)(t) ×
5
3
t
4
dt.
Now we can multiply and integrate to see that this equals
5

Z
t
10
− 2t
5
dt =
5
99
t
11
−
5
27
t

+ C.
Back to x-land: resubstituting t = (3x + 2)
1/5
gives
5
99
(3x + 2)
11/5
−
5
27
(3x + 2)
6/5
+ C.

using a working column on the left, as we’ve been doing previously. Also, you
should check that if you differentiate the answer above, you get the original
integrand x
5
√
3x + 2. By the way, did you notice anything different about this
substitution from all the others we’ve done so far? It’s a subtle point, but
in all the other examples, we had an equation like dt = (x-stuff) dx, whereas
here, we have dx =
5
3
t
4
dt. This worked out quite nicely, since we just replaced
dx directly. In all the other examples, we had to find a constant multiple of
the x-stuff already present in order to have much of a chance. In Section 19.3
of the next chapter, we’ll see some other examples of integrals where we can
replace dx directly.
In general, there are no hard and fast rules about what to substitute. You
just have to go along with your instinct, which will be accurate only if you
have done plenty of practice problems. You can always try any substitution
you like. If the new integral is worse than the original one, or you can’t see
how to migrate everything to t-land, then don’t panic: just go back to the
original integral and try something else.
Now, before we move onto integration by parts, there are two things I want
to deal with. One is a justification of the substitution method; I’ll do this in
the next section. The other is to summarize the method of substitution:

• for indefinite integrals, change everything to do with x and dx to stuff
involving t and dt, do the new integral, then change back to x stuff;
• for definite integrals, change everything to do with x and dx to stuff
involving t and dt, and change the limits of integration to the corre-
sponding t values as well, then do the new integral (no need to go back
to x-land here). Alternatively, treat the integral as an indefinite inte-
gral and when you get the final answer, then substitute in the limits of
integration.
