By substituting u = f(x), we were able to rewrite the original integral into a simpler form with respect to u. The new integral is ∫ fsin(u) du, with limits of integration from 4 to 9.

Rewriting the Integral using u-substitution

Problem:

Rewrite the integral

∫ ff'(x)sin (f(x)) dx

as an integral with respect to u, given that f(1) = 4 and f(3) = 9.

Solution:

Let u = f(x). Then du = f'(x) dx. Substituting these into the integral, we get:

∫ ff'(x)sin (f(x)) dx = ∫ fsin(u) du

Finding the limits of integration:

We need to find the limits of integration in terms of u. We know that f(1) = 4 and f(3) = 9, so:

When x = 1, u = f(1) = 4.

When x = 3, u = f(3) = 9.

Therefore, the new limits of integration are 4 and 9.

Final integral:

The integral after u-substitution is:

∫ fsin(u) du, with limits of integration from 4 to 9.
