1.5 Substitution Method
a. This way, we substitute variable
in the function with a function of another variable,
:
. This way, the integral in the right side is simpler.
![]()
Finding out the integral, we return to variable x. The equality is meaningful if function
is invertible.
Example: To calculate
, let's substitute
. Therefore,
, and the result is
![]()
b. For integrals in the form of
, the substitution is
.
c. For integrals in the form of
, the substitution is
.
d. For integrals in the form of
, when
is a rational function of two-variables, the substitution is
, from there follows
. After substitution in the integral, we get a new integral containing no roots.
e. For integrals in the form of

e. A General Case
If, in rational function
, the degree of polynomial
is higher than or equal to that of polynomial
, that is, the function is not common, we divide
by
, and the result is the sum of polynomial
and a common rational function (see X. 3.3)
![]()
Step 1: Break down the polynomial
into factors of the form of
and
, when
(that is, no real roots exist):
![]()
Step 2: Break down the common fraction
into a sum of unit fractions, the following way:





The computing of quotients
,
,
, is done by adding up all the fractions on the right side into one fraction, the denominator of which is
. Then, by equating the denominator of this fraction to the quotients of
, we get a system of linear equations, with the unknowns
,
,
.
Step 3: Find the integral of the rational function this way:
![]()
In the last integral, substitute
with the right side of the equality of Step 2. This way, we get the sum of unit fractions integrals.
Example: To find the integral
, we break down the rational function into unit fractions:
![]()
By adding the fractions of the right side, and equating numerators, we get:
