It's a combination of parts and substitution. You can start from the integral of an inverse function. Withgleem said:According to the author of this article, this integration formula is well-known but rarely taught. Do you know it?
where x0 is a constant and f-1(x) is the inverse function of f(x).

Where am I wrong?
You can also just take the derivative of the RHS, and verify that it is f(x). I note that I have never seen this before. It looks cute, but I wouldn't know how useful it is without playing with some examples myself.PeroK said:It's a combination of parts and substitution.

This looks like one of those integration identities that might find use on some ubsurd integral challenges (which I enjoy), but probably not much use anywhere else. I would be interested to see if it does show up in someones research somewhere.PAllen said:It looks cute, but I wouldn't know how useful it is without playing with some examples myself.
It could be useful, but it doesn't have a lot of independent value. It's just the full substitution, followed by parts. In that sense, it's nothing new.Mondayman said:This looks like one of those integration identities that might find use on some ubsurd integral challenges (which I enjoy), but probably not much use anywhere else.
