Definite integral with complex substitution requiring algebraic rearrangement

Evaluate a definite integral where the substitution is given or required (e.g. u = 2x+1, u = x⁴+2, u = 3+√(2x-1)) and the integrand must be algebraically rearranged in terms of u after substitution, including cases where the numerator must be expressed in terms of u.
