Is reverse chain rule just integral of product of function and it's derivative? (1 Viewer)

You can think of it like that I guess

integral of sin(x)cos(x)
integral of (x+2)/ (x^2 + 4x)

Integrands which are derivatives(or constant multiples thereof) of composite functions are the ones usually handled by "integration by substitution". They often refer to reverse chain rule - but I've seldom seen how this reversal is achieved. Using my method, I can do the reversal of the chain rule step-by-step. But apart from a few, no one knows my method.

yep I also believe u sub is more straightforward in these cases but id also like to know how to use RCR

aight thanks

Maybe I'll show you how to do RCR later.

Reverse chain rule would be basically a quick hand way of doing integration by substitution, by inspection. Generally its most useful for when you observe a composite function that you know get by differentiating using the chain rule. For the same reason differentiation by substitution is actually using the chain rule implicitly.
