using the substitution u=6-x^2 integrate (x^3)/(6-x^2)^1/2 with respect to x, between 1 and 2

First we calculate du/dx = -2x and rearrange to get dx as the subject, dx=du/(-2x). Now we change the limits of integration because we are now integrating with respect to u. So the bottom limit will be u(...
