File attached, please explain #12 (these are practice problems for my final in calc).....thx

OpenStudy (ash2326):

the question is\[f(x)=\int\limits_{0}^{x} \sqrt(t^3+1) dt\] to find f'(2) for that we have to find f'(x) , when we have to differentiate an integral just plugin the upper limit in the function multiplied with the differentiation of upperlimit this subtracted by the lower limit plugged in and its product with differentiation of lower limit

got it thx.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me out with #13, i posted another thread for that question

OpenStudy (ash2326):

so \[f'(x)=\sqrt(x^3+1)*d/dx(x)-\sqrt(0^3+1)*d/dx(0)\] so we get \[f'(x)=\sqrt(x^3+1)\] so f'(2)=sqrt(9) f'(2)=3

thx, if only all my problems were that easy haha

OpenStudy (ash2326):

ok i'll check 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (ash2326):

to find inflection point of a function f(x) we have to find f''(x) first then in the domain of the function we have to check if f''(x) is greater than 0 or less than it , if let for f''(x)=0 x=a then we have to check the sign of f''(x) in left side of a and right side of a , if it changes then a is an inflection point

OpenStudy (ash2326):

our question is f''(x)=x(x+1)(x-2)^2 so x=0,-1 and 2 are the roots to check if x=-1 is an inflection point if x=-2 we see f''(x)=positive if x=-0.5 we see f''(x) is negative , so it's an inflection point to check x=0 if x=-0.5 then f''(x) is negative and for x=0.5 f''(x) is positive so it's an inflection point to check x=2 if x=0.5 f''(x) is positive if x=3 then also f''(x) is positive so it's not an inflection point

OpenStudy (ash2326):

so only x=-1 and 0 are inflection point, option c
