For each function u(x) in Exercises 9–12, write the differential du in terms of the differential dx.
Find three integrals in Exercises 27–70 for which a good strategy is to use integration by parts with and dv the remaining part.
Solve given integrals by using polynomial long division to rewrite the integrand. This is one way that you can sometimes avoid using trigonometric substitution; moreover, sometimes it works when trigonometric substitution does not apply.

Give an example of an integral for which trigonometric substitution is possible but an easier method is available. Then give an example of an integral that we still don’t know how to solve given the techniques we know at this point.
Explain why, if , then is if and is if . Your explanation should include a discussion of domains and absolute values.
