Talk:Inverse chain rule method

Can anyone find a general forumula for the definite integral case? Heck, we need the general formula for everything. _dk 10:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of this method, and I don't see how it is significantly different that integration by substitution. It might be used as motivation for substitution, but once this demonstration is complete, it becomes useless. I think this article should be removed.--24.59.125.38 22:09, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

so much work

Why not in example of int(sin(5x+4)dx) stick in 5 and divide by a fifth giving:

1/5*int(sin(5x+4))d(5x+4)

rather than guessing. --Loodog 03:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm convinced that the "guessing" in there are just implicit steps and part of the mind process. Your suggestion is actually what the article was trying to get at. I guess it needs some rewording. _dk 05:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a special case of integration by substitution, I believe this article belongs in the actual integration by substitution article. Hotstreets 02:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

merger with substitution method

Although this method having its own page is valuable per se as many courses teach it as an individual method, it is in fact, as stated by Hotstreets, a special case of integration by substition, so it should have its own topic UNDER integration by substitution.Sebastiao 14:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sebastiao (talk • contribs) 14:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
