  1. To explain the process of Integration with U Substitution in a simple way, I'll break it down into key steps and concepts:
  
  a. Purpose: U Substitution is used to simplify complex integrals by replacing a part of the integrand with a new variable (usually 'u').
  
  b. Steps:
     1. Identify a part of the integrand that can be substituted with 'u'.
     2. Express 'u' in terms of the original variable (usually 'x').
     3. Find du/dx and solve for dx.
     4. Rewrite the integral in terms of 'u' and 'du'.
     5. Integrate the simplified expression.
     6. Substitute back the original variable.
  
  c. Key points to emphasize:
     - The choice of 'u' is crucial and should simplify the integral.
     - The substitution must include both the function and its derivative.
     - After integration, we must remember to substitute back to the original variable.
  
  2. To create and solve an integral using U Substitution, I'll choose a moderately complex example that clearly demonstrates the process:
  
  ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx
  
  I'll solve this step-by-step, explaining each stage of the process.

  My explanation of U Substitution seems clear and concise, covering the main points without sacrificing coherency. The steps are logically ordered and should be easy to follow. The example I've chosen is appropriate for demonstrating the technique - it's not too simple, but also not overly complex.
  
  I'm confident in my approach, but I should be careful to explain each step thoroughly when solving the example. It's important to show how each part of the U Substitution process applies to this specific integral.
  
  Confidence level: 9/10. I believe my explanation is solid, but I want to ensure the solved example is equally clear and effective.

  Now, let's solve the integral ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx using U Substitution:
  
  1. Identify the substitution:
     Let u = x^2
     This is a good choice because we see cos(x^2) in the integrand.
  
  2. Express u in terms of x:
     u = x^2
  
  3. Find du/dx and solve for dx:
     du/dx = 2x
     du = 2x dx
     dx = du / (2x)
  
  4. Rewrite the integral:
     ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx
     = ∫ x * cos(u) * (du / (2x))
     = (1/2) ∫ cos(u) du
  
  5. Integrate the simplified expression:
     (1/2) ∫ cos(u) du = (1/2) sin(u) + C
  
  6. Substitute back the original variable:
     (1/2) sin(u) + C = (1/2) sin(x^2) + C
  
  Therefore, the final answer is:
  ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx = (1/2) sin(x^2) + C
  </thinking>

  The solution process is clear and follows the steps outlined in the explanation. Each step is shown and explained, which should help the user understand how U Substitution works in practice.
  
  Some key points to note:
  - The choice of u = x^2 simplifies the cosine term.
  - The factor of x in the original integrand cancels out nicely with the dx/(2x) term.
  - The final substitution back to x is straightforward.
  
  I believe this example effectively demonstrates the U Substitution technique without being overly complicated. It shows how a seemingly complex integral can be simplified and solved using this method.
  
  Confidence level: 10/10. The explanation and example solution are clear, accurate, and demonstrate the U Substitution process effectively.

  U Substitution is a technique used in integration to simplify complex integrals by substituting a part of the integrand with a new variable, usually 'u'. The process involves the following steps:
  
  1. Identify a part of the integrand to substitute with 'u'.
  2. Express 'u' in terms of the original variable (usually 'x').
  3. Find du/dx and solve for dx.
  4. Rewrite the integral in terms of 'u' and 'du'.
  5. Integrate the simplified expression.
  6. Substitute back the original variable.
  
  To demonstrate this process, let's solve the integral: ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx
  
  Step 1: Let u = x^2
  Step 2: u = x^2
  Step 3: du/dx = 2x, so du = 2x dx, and dx = du / (2x)
  Step 4: ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx = ∫ x * cos(u) * (du / (2x)) = (1/2) ∫ cos(u) du
  Step 5: (1/2) ∫ cos(u) du = (1/2) sin(u) + C
  Step 6: Substituting back, (1/2) sin(u) + C = (1/2) sin(x^2) + C
  
  Therefore, the final answer is: ∫ x * cos(x^2) dx = (1/2) sin(x^2) + C
  
  This example shows how U Substitution can simplify a complex integral involving trigonometric functions and powers, making it much easier to solve.
