Definite Integral of (2t - 1)^2 from 0 to 5 with u-substitution

TL;DR

Integrate using u-substitution technique with updated limits to solve the expression efficiently.

Transcript

integrate to t minus one quantity squared from 0 to 5 let's go ahead and do this really quickly so solution first thing you want to do is make a u substitution so we'll let u equal to t minus 1 and the reason we picked this is our u is because that's what's being raised to a power so we have this thing to the second power then we compute D u so D u...
