The rule
Write the formula with next to the indefinite version, and state that each new limit is evaluated at the matching old -limit.
Worked example
Carry the substitution through, convert the limits to and , and evaluate to .
Pitfall: plugging the old -limits into the new antiderivative
Record this as the most common mistake, and note on the example which limits belong with and which belong with .
Pitfall: changing sign, shown on
Work the substitution to the false answer , mark the step where it fails, and state the remedy of splitting the interval where keeps one sign.
