transformation reduces the problem most effectively.

Worked pattern
Representative exercise: evaluate an integral involving Area under a curve. Write the integrand clearly,
state the chosen method, perform each transformation explicitly, integrate, and differentiate the final result
to verify it.

Practice
1. Solve a basic example using the stated method. 2. Solve a moderate example requiring one additional
algebraic step. 3. Solve an examination-style example without looking at the formula sheet.

Checkpoint
