\[\int (x+2)^5 dx\]

What subsitution could you make in terms of $u$?


\[u = x + 2\]

If $u = x + 2$, what is $\frac{du}{dx}$?


\[\frac{du}{dx} = 1\]

If $u = x + 2$ and $\frac{du}{dx} = 1$, what is $dx$?


\[du\]
\[\int (x+2)^5 dx\]

If $u = x+2$ and $du = dx$, how could you rewrite the integral?


\[\int u^5 du\]
\[\int u^5 du\]

What is this equal to?


\[\frac{u^6}{6} + c\]
\[\frac{u^6}{6} + c\]

Can you reverse the subsitution $u = x + 2$?
