Change of the upper limit when applying change of variable rules (Equation 6.141) #772

Open linneaus0 opened 8 months ago

Describe the mistake There should be a change of limits for the definite integral when applying change of variable rules in Equation 6.141.

  4. Equation 6.141

Proposed solution Substitute the upper limit from U^-1(y) to y

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Also, the lower limit should change from a to U(a). Perhaps changing the integration variable from y to something else (to separate it from the upper limit y) and adding more explanation after eq 6.141 would be helpful especially to novice readers.
