Example U-Substitution Example A step-by-step u-substitution for a definite integral Let u = x^2 + 1 , so , which means . When x = 0 : u = 1 . When x = 2 : u = 5 . Why did we change the bounds from [0,2] to [1,5] ? You've worked through the full solution. Review each step to solidify your understanding.
