what does this mean, i am going over it in my book, but i cant quite get a grip on the concept
it means take the derivative of the integral. which is just the function
Apply the fundamental theorem of calculus
so in this case should i just first integrate cost which would be -sint right, then take the derivative , but that will lead right bakc to cost
at what point do i evluate this problem
do you have to evaluate cos t?
\[(F(\sqrt{x}))'\]
well, its a two part question, it asks me to find the derivative or the problem i posted, by a)evaluating the integral and differentiating the result and b)differntiating the integral directly
i need some help actually doing the problem i am stuck
F=-sint right
Are you familiar with the fundamental theorem of calculus?
well, i read over it .....not to sure how to apply it though
i know one part says that i can take the antiderivative and evluate at the endpoints and get the area
\[(F(\sqrt{x}))' = F'(\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{x})' = \cos(\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{x})' = \frac{1}{2}\frac{cos(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}} \]
You are just applying the chain rule and the FTC
the derivative of A is B. when you integrate B, you get A. your problem ask you to take the derivative of the integral of B which is the same as taking the derivative of A, which is B.
now, someone please clear this up: do I have to evaluate the integral at 0 and sqrt of x?
well to evluate the integral
\[\int_{0}^{\sqrt{x}}\cos(t)dt = \sin(\sqrt{x})\] \[(\sin(\sqrt{x}))' =\frac{1}{2}\frac{cos(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}\]
But pay attention to the previous solution which uses the fundamental theorem of calculus.
And understand what is happening
\[(F(\sqrt{x}))' = F'(\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{x})' = \cos(\sqrt{x})(\sqrt{x})' = \frac{1}{2}\frac{cos(\sqrt{x})}{\sqrt{x}}\]
F represents the integral
The integrated right
The integral itself is a function.
Alchemista, it looks like you are talking about the chain rule?
There are two rules being used, the chain rule and the fundamental theorem of calculus.
First part of the FTC states: \[F(x) = \int_{a}^{x}f(x)dx\]\[F'(x) = f(x)\]
