    Let's start with the ranges:

    u = 8x - 2

    The lower limit was x = 3. Plug that in to find the lower limit for u:

    u = 8(3) - 2 = 22

    The upper limit was x = 6. Plug that in to find the upper limit for u:

    u = 8(6) - 2 = 46

    Apparently you had these but the screenshot only shows the first digit of each.

    Next calculate du/dx:

    d(8x - 2)/dx = 8

    If du/dx = 8, then dx = du/8

    Replace 8x - 2 with u.

    Replace dx with du/8

    Original:

    9 / (8x - 2)² dx

    Substituted:

    9 / u² * du/8

    = (9/8) 1/u² du

    Answer:

    integral from 22 to 46 of (9/8) 1/u² du

    I'll leave the evaluation to you so you hopefully learn how to do this for yourself next time.

    Again, you are not doing your part; you still have unattended questions and to vote BA. See

    We answer your questions. Can you answer ours: 

    In the question below, why did you vote BA for the person who got it all wrong?

    Are you just being a troll? Because you are sure acting like one...Think about it, be honest & grow up !

    If u = 8x - 2, then du = 8.dx

    Hence, dx = du/8

    so, ∫ [9/(8x - 2)²] dx => ∫ (9/u²)(du/8)

    i.e. (9/8) ∫ (1/u²).du

    As this is in terms of u, we need to convert the original limits of x in terms of u

    so, with x = 6 we have, u = 8(6) - 2 = 46

    with x = 3 we have, u = 8(3) - 2 = 22

    I think the definite integral becomes  ∫ 9/(8u²) du and the new limits should be 22 and 46.
