Solution
Idea. Spot an inner function whose derivative appears (up to a constant) elsewhere in the integrand. Do not forget to change the bounds.
First integral. With , , and the bounds become and :
Second integral. With the bounds become and :
Remark. The second answer is huge () because explodes: always sanity-check the order of magnitude.
