How to pull out coefficient from radical in an integral I am in an online Calculus 2 class, and before my professor gets back to me, I was wondering if you guys could help. I was reading through an example:

How was 1/27 pulled out from the coefficient next to u^2? I am probably missing something dumb. Thanks. 

There's an error in the problem-the numerator in the u-substitution should be $u^3$, not $u^2$. The numerator here is $(1/3 u)^3$ (compare to u). So a factor of 1/27 drops out into the denominator. The rest is easy to see by careful substitution.
