AP Calculus AB: 9.3.1 Integrating Composite Trigonometric Functions by Substitution
This content covers the technique of integration by substitution applied to composite trigonometric functions. It explains how to identify the inner function for substitution, handle constant multiples, and ensure complete substitution. Worked examples demonstrate how substitution simplifies complex integrals, with emphasis on converting back to the original variable and verifying results through differentiation.
Integrating Composite Trigonometric Functions by Substitution
Integration by substitution is a technique for finding the antiderivative of a composite function. A composite function is a function that results from first applying one function, then another.
If the du-expression is only off by a constant multiple, you can still use integration by substitution by moving that constant out of the integral.
