Antiderivative question?
Find the antiderivative by using substitution. Be sure to state clearly what you choose š¢ to
be. Show each of the steps and use š¶ as your constant of integration.

ā«((2x)/(3x^2 - 4)^3)dx
Let u = 3x^2 - 4
Then du = 6xdx
dx = du/6x
ā«((2x)/(3x^2 - 4)^3)dx
= ā«( 2x/u^3 * du/6x
= 1/3ā« u^-3 du
= 1/3 [ - 1/2 u^-2] + C
= - 1/[6(3x^2 - 4)^2] + C

ā« 2x / (3x^2-4)^3 dx
Let u=3x^2-4
du = 6x dx
x dx = (1/6) du
ā« 2x / (3x^2-4)^3 dx = (2)(1/6) ā« du/ u^3
= (1/3) ā« u^(-3) du
= (1/3) u^(-3 +1)/(-3 +1)
= (1/3)(-1/2) u^(-2)
= -1 /(6u^2)
replace u by (3x^2-4)
= -1 /(6(3x^2-4)^2) + C

u = 3x^2 - 4 seems a logical choice since the numerator becomes part of du.
