all ur trying to do is decompose the problem into something that has IT and its DERIVATIVE
it = 6x^3+5
its derivative = 18x^2

I can see that. I can see what has been done, but for some reason my mind just turns off when I'm presented with the problem and no solution has been provided.

Just make you a cheat sheet like this one.
Write down everything from 'e' limit to universal trigonometric substitution.
Aiden Turner
Because you don't know how to do derivatives properly. If your knowledge of derivatives is lacking, you're obvi not going to see that, e.g. arctanx/(1+x^2) is just u-substitution.
Do a shit ton of derivatives for 3 days and then start to work on integration again. Make sure you have the derivatives of your trig and hyperbolic trig memorized. It'll come. UC DAVIS has an excellent webpage full of integration problems and solutions. Work through those

Not OP, but does anyone know any online workbook or pdf or whatever for integration?
Mason Rodriguez
I know how to do derivatives, I pretty much got that down. Though admittedly I could probably do more with inverse trig functions which are really the only basic derivatives I haven't taken the time to memorize. I'm just brainlet I suppose.
Nathaniel Carter
OP here, I actually just found this: math.byu.edu
I have to say I'm reading it and doing the exercises right now and I am actually finding it useful. I actually found something good for once.

Nigga, I tutor brainlets like you who are struggling with calc 2 and anytime I encounter someone who is having a problem with integration, it's ALWAYS because they're weak at derivatives. They always insist they're not, too.
Kevin Long
Well dip shit, I actually am starting to get the hang of it now. I was just going about shit wrong.
