E.g. rewriting $\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{5 - x^{2} + 4 x}} d x$ as $\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{9 - {(x - 2)}^{2}}} d x$ .

When doing integration by substitution, $\frac{d u}{d x}$ can be treated like a fraction.
True.
When doing integration by substitution, $\frac{d u}{d x}$ can be treated like a fraction.
E.g. $u = x^{2} \Rightarrow \frac{d u}{d x} = 2 x \Rightarrow d u = 2 x d x$
$\frac{d u}{d x}$ is not actually a fraction (it's a derivative, i.e. gradient function), but treating it like a fraction can give correct answers when integrating by substitution.
$\int x {(1 + 3 x)}^{8} d x$ can be integrated by using the substitution $u = 1 + 3 x$ .
It follows from this that $x = \frac{u - 1}{3}$ , and also that $\frac{d u}{d x} = 3 \Rightarrow d x = \frac{1}{3} d u$ .
What is the next step in solving the integral?
$\int x {(1 + 3 x)}^{8} d x$ can be integrated by using the substitution $u = 1 + 3 x$ .
It follows from this that $x = \frac{u - 1}{3}$ , and also that $\frac{d u}{d x} = 3 \Rightarrow d x = \frac{1}{3} d u$ .
The next step in solving the integral is to substitute terms in $u$ for all the terms in $x$ in the integral:
$\int x {(1 + 3 x)}^{8} d x = \int (\frac{u - 1}{3}) u^{8} (\frac{1}{3} d u) = \frac{1}{9} \int (u^{9} - u^{8}) d u$
State the formula for integration by parts.
The formula for integration by parts is $\int u \frac{d v}{d x} d x = u v - \int v \frac{d u}{d x} d x$ , which can also be written as $\int u d v = u v - \int v d u$ .
Both versions of the formula are in the exam formula booklet.

Partial fractions can be used for integration when the denominator of a quotient is of quadratic form.
E.g. to integrate $\int \frac{x - 13}{x^{2} - 5 x - 6} d x$ .
True.
Partial fractions can be used for integration when the denominator of a quotient is of quadratic form.
E.g. to integrate $\int \frac{x - 13}{x^{2} - 5 x - 6} d x$ , first use partial fractions to rewrite the integral as $\int (\frac{2}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x - 6}) d x$ .
Why should you not use partial fractions to integrate something like $\int \frac{2 x - 5}{x^{2} - 5 x - 6} d x$ ?
If the numerator of what you are trying to integrate is the derivative (or a multiple of the derivative) of the denominator, then partial fractions should not be used because it is much quicker to use the reverse chain rule result $\int \frac{f' (x)}{f (x)} d x = \ln |f (x)| + C$ .
