x = a and x = b. INTEGRALS BY SUBSTITUTION

When the variable in a definite integral is


changed, the substitution in terms of new
variable should be effected at three places.

(i) in the integrand,


(ii) in the differential, say, dx
(iii) in the limits
(iv) substitution should be bijective.

When the variable in a definite integral is


changed, the substitution in terms of new
variable should be effected at three places.

When the variable in a definite integral is


changed, the substitution in terms of new
variable should be effected at three places.
