Statement

Suppose F is an antiderivative for f. Then:

f(mx+φ)dx=1mF(mx+φ)+C

where m is a nonzero real number and φ is a (possibly zero and possibly nonzero) real number). The "+ C" is the usual arbitrary constant addition.

This is a special case of integration by u-substitution where we put in u=mx+φ.
