SUMMARY
Trigonometric substitutions are techniques used to simplify integrals involving square roots of quadratic expressions. This method transforms the integral into a trigonometric form, making it easier to solve. Common substitutions include using sine, cosine, and tangent functions to replace variables. Understanding these substitutions is essential for mastering calculus integration techniques.
