Find the integral: {eq}\int \frac{5x^2}{3x^3 + 2} \, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}.
Question:
Find the integral: {eq}\int \frac{5x^2}{3x^3 + 2} \, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}.
The Substitution Method
The integral of this problem has the form {eq}\int f(g(x)) g'(x)\, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}. This kind of integral can by solved applying the substitution {eq}u=g(x) {/eq} and {eq}du=g'(x)\, \mathrm{d}x {/eq}, with which this integral can be wriiten as:
{eq}\int f(g(x)) g'(x)\, \mathrm{d}x=\int f(u) \, \mathrm{d}u {/eq}
