Integration by U-substitution

In this section you will study techniques for integrating composite functions. The discussion is split into two parts – pattern recognition and change of variables. Both techniques involve u-substitution.

Even & Odd Functions A function is said to be even if it is symmetric with respect to the y axis. f(-x) = f(x) A function is said to be odd if it is symmetric with respect to the origin. f(-x) = -f(x) If a –x value is substituted in and the 2 conditions above are not met, it is said to be neither
