Formula Used
General Integral Rewriting
The rewrite integral calculator uses algebraic manipulation and integral identities to transform integrals. The exact formula depends on the specific technique selected.
For substitution, the calculator uses:
∫f(x)dx = ∫f(g(u)) * g'(u)du
Where x = g(u) and dx = g'(u)du.
The calculator applies the appropriate technique based on the input integral and selected method.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Basic Substitution
Original integral: ∫x√(x² + 1) dx
Let u = x² + 1, then du = 2x dx and x dx = du/2.
Rewritten integral: (1/2)∫u^(1/2) du
Solution: (1/2)(2/3)u^(3/2) + C = (1/3)(x² + 1)^(3/2) + C
Example 2: Trigonometric Identity
Original integral: ∫sin²x dx
Using identity: sin²x = (1 - cos(2x))/2.
Rewritten integral: (1/2)∫(1 - cos(2x)) dx
Solution: (1/2)(x - (1/2)sin(2x)) + C = (x/2) - (sin(2x)/4) + C
