If u = 1 - r^3, then

r = (1-u)^{1/3} = \sqrt[3]{1-u}.

Your formula for du is actually correct, so why don't you just complete making the substitution and see if you can do the resulting integral?
 
hi dear,
i know that i can do the subtitution.But i want to know how -3du came?

if you could

I'm not sure what the question is. You explicitly computed that

9r^2 dr = - 3 du.

The only thing left to do is finish the computation.
 
Evluating Integrals:

evaluate the indefinite integral by using the given substitution to reduce the integral to standard form.

this is the question

i want to know how did -3du come?!

i'm sorry for asking too many questions

Try the subst:

<br /> u = 1 - r^{3}<br />
 
No need to repeat the statement of the problem. Can you try rewriting

\frac{9r^2 dr}{\sqrt{1-r^3}}

entirely in terms of u and du?
