# Math Help - Linear Rationalizing Substitution problem for Integration

1. ## Linear Rationalizing Substitution problem for Integration

So I'm working with the following problem -

After setting u = 2x + 1, and (1/2)du = dx, and x = ((u-1)/2) I end up with
(1/2)integral{((u-1)\2)3 (u)(1/3)du}

After doing that I get lost. What would be the next step? Do I need to make another substitution?
(I can't do (1/4)((u-1)/2)4 can I?...)

Hint :

$(A-B)^3=A^3-3A^2B+3AB^2-B^3$

The thing is, I have ((u-1)/2)3. So I can't re-write is as (u-1)3 x (1/2)3... can I?

I think that the MHF community is willing to help me, and has helped me in the past. In all honesty, directing me to some other site that in no way relates to my problem is not helping me.

Every person does have their own view I am not saying you are wrong. I just gave you an alternate in case you get stuck in the future there are some more people who can help you.

Well, thank you, I guess.

Anyway, how do I integrate ((u-1)/2)3?
