A substitution of variables is often carried out so as to transform a complicated integral to one that is less complicated which one can either directly calculate or continue to work with.

When we carry out a substitution of variables \displaystyle u=u(x), there are three things which are affected in the integral:

  1. the integral must be rewritten in terms of the new variable \displaystyle u;
  2. the element of integration, \displaystyle dx, is replaced by \displaystyle du, according to the formula \displaystyle du=u'(x)\,dx;
  3. the limits of integration are for \displaystyle x and must be changed to limits of integration for the variable \displaystyle u.

In this case, we will perform the change of variables \displaystyle u=3x-1, mainly because the integrand \displaystyle 1/(3x-1)^4 will then be replaced by \displaystyle 1/u^4.

The relation between \displaystyle dx and \displaystyle du reads

\displaystyle du = u'(x)\,dx = (3x-1)'\,dx = 3\,dx\,,

which means that \displaystyle dx is replaced by \displaystyle \tfrac{1}{3}\,du.

Furthermore, when \displaystyle x=1 in the lower limit of integration, the corresponding u-value becomes \displaystyle u=3\cdot 1-1=2, and when \displaystyle x=2, we obtain the u-value \displaystyle u=3\cdot 2-1=5\,.

One usually writes the whole substitution of variables as

\displaystyle \int\limits_1^2 \frac{dx}{(3x-1)^4} = \left\{ \begin{align}

u &= 3x-1\\[5pt] du &= 3\,dx \end{align} \right\} = \int\limits_2^5 \frac{\tfrac{1}{3}\,du}{u^4}\,\textrm{.}

Sometimes, we are more brief and hide the details,

\displaystyle \int\limits_1^2 \frac{dx}{(3x-1)^4} = \bigl\{ u=3x-1 \bigr\} = \int\limits_2^5 \frac{\tfrac{1}{3}\,du}{u^4}\,\textrm{.}

After the substitution of variables, we have a standard integral which is easy to compute.

In summary, the whole calculation is,

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\int\limits_1^2 \frac{dx}{(3x-1)^4} &= \left\{\begin{align} u &= 3x-1\\[5pt] du &= 3\,dx \end{align}\right\} = \int\limits_2^5 \frac{\tfrac{1}{3}\,du}{u^4} = \frac{1}{3}\int\limits_2^5 u^{-4}\,du\\[5pt] &= \frac{1}{3}\Bigl[\ \frac{u^{-4+1}}{-4+1}\ \Bigr]_2^5 = -\frac{1}{9}\Bigl[\ \frac{1}{u^3}\ \Bigr]_2^5 = -\frac{1}{9}\Bigl(\frac{1}{5^3} - \frac{1}{2^3} \Bigr) = -\frac{1}{9}\cdot\frac{2^3-5^3}{2^3\cdot 5^3}\\[5pt] &= \frac{117}{3^2\cdot 2^3\cdot 5^3} = \frac{3^2\cdot 13}{3^2\cdot 2^3\cdot 5^3} = \frac{13}{2^3\cdot 5^3} = \frac{13}{1000}\,\textrm{.} \end{align}
