Changing the limits of integration

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the process of changing the limits of integration in calculus, specifically addressing the transformation of the integral from -π to π. The key technique used is the substitution method, where u = -x is applied to alter the limits effectively. This method is essential for understanding how to manipulate integrals and their corresponding limits accurately.

This isn't a homework problem, just an equation in my chapter. I don't see how the two integrals pointed to by the blue arrows become the integral pointed to by the red arrow. I know that if you swap the limits of integration, you change the sign of the integral. However, how do you change the -pi to pi in the second integral?

Use the substitution u=-x
 
Of course, thanks.
