substitute these expressions in the function definition
y

r
= f
x
s
−q
p
and solve for y
s

s
= r $ f
x

p
+ s
then take the derivative
dy

s

d

or [1A]

Now since
x
s
= p
$
x + q
x
s
+ dx
s
= p
$
x + p
$
dx + q = p
$
x + q + p
$
dx
x
s
+ dx
s

s

$
dx
so [2A]

Replace [2A] in [1A]

which is the relation we wanted. In this splice application, we scale only x, not y, so r = 1. In terms of
the actual scaling variables x

and h, the scaling is
xs =

h
$
(
x − x2
)
=

x −

so by inspection
p =

then

Scaling the splice integral
Given the scaled splice polynomial s
s
(x
s
), we can easily find the definite integral
I
s
=

x
sa
x
sb
s
s
(x
s

xs
but we really want the integral of the unscaled function:
I =
¶
x
a
x
b
s

)
dx
Using the definition of the definite integral: [1B]
