Integrals with rational exponents    can be transformed to integrals of rational functions by making use the substitution  x = un. Then    and  dx = nun-1du.

Integrals with a few rational exponents can be evaluated by the substitution  x = un, where  n  is the least common multiple of the denominators of the exponents.

Integrals involving expressions of the form    can be evaluated by the substitution  , which eliminates the radical sign and yields x as a rational function of  u:
