This document discusses integrating exponential and rational functions. It introduces the exponential rule of integration and explains how to choose the substitution when using integration by substitution. A good choice is one whose derivative appears in the integrand. The document concludes by emphasizing experimenting with different substitutions and finding the antiderivative of a composite function using integration by substitution.

To evaluate the integrals of exponential
and rational functions. Exponential Functions What does ?
What’s a function whose derivative is ex ?
Exponential Rule of Integration
Exponential Functions Exponential Functions Test: Take the derivative of the choice of u. If you cannot find it elsewhere in the integrand, then use a different expression for u.
Testing Zone:
This expression is off only by a constant multiple.
Exponential Functions Conclusion
Integration by substitution is a technique for find-
ing the antiderivative of a composite function.
Experiment with different choices for u when us-
