Antiderivative by Substitution (6.1, pg. 263)

Welcome to Calc I!

Substitution - The Antiderivative of the Chain Rule
Hi,
    This is a VERY powerful and useful algorithm. procedure.
    The Chain Rule, section 2.5, pg. 100, was used to take the derivative of a composit function and yielded "the product of the derivative of the outer function evaluated at the inner function and the derivative of the inner function."
    Now you seek 1st: a derivative, a derivative of the function positioned as the argument, the object of the "outer" function, and 2nd: the "outer" function.

    Stay safe, A2
