More Advanced Examples ( tex2html_wrap_inline334 and exponentials)

There are a few more exotic cases. Suppose we wish to evaluate tex2html_wrap_inline336 . The following shows the process.

equation49

Here, we let tex2html_wrap_inline338 so that tex2html_wrap_inline340 and the intgral becomes

equation53

Another common substitution is the let the power in an exponential be u.

equation57

where we have used the substitution tex2html_wrap_inline344 .
