๐Ÿ“š Quick Study Guide

  • โ…ซ U-Substitution is a technique to simplify integrals by substituting a function with a new variable, $u$.
  • ๐Ÿ’ก For exponential functions like $e^{f(x)}$, consider $u = f(x)$, then $du = f'(x) dx$.
  • ๐Ÿ“ For logarithmic functions like $\ln(f(x))$, consider $u = \ln(f(x))$, then $du = \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} dx$.
  • โž• Remember the integral of $e^u$ is $e^u + C$, and the integral of $\frac{1}{u}$ is $\ln|u| + C$.
  • ๐Ÿ”‘ Don't forget to change the limits of integration if you're working with definite integrals!
