How do I take the derivative of an integral in this question?

OpenStudy (rogue):

Fundamental theorem of calculus? What's your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, it's based on ftc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, all of them :)

OpenStudy (rogue):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{x}f(t)dt = f(x)\]Here's an example on solving FTC problems.\[\int\limits_{x^2}^{x^3} t^2 dt = (x^3)^2 \frac {d}{dx} x^3 - (x^2)^2 \frac {d}{dx} x^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you guys determine that?

OpenStudy (rogue):

You substitute the limits of integration, and multiply it by the derivative of the limit of integration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh...I understand how you did that. Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rogue think simple! Derivative cancel out the integration!

OpenStudy (rogue):

It is simple, but you have 2 variables =P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In here, just 1 variable x :)

OpenStudy (rogue):

The x substitutes into the t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rogue, your example comes out to x^5 3x^2 - x^4 2x. How do you subtract that to get the answer?

OpenStudy (rogue):

You just leave it, you can't subtract. I was showing you stuff with x^2 and x^3 because often times students only substitute the limit of integration into the variable, without multiplying by the derivative of the limit of integration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay. Thanks again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmVvIglZx8 is definitely worth a look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Rogue, you proves noteworthy point because it did happen right in OS!

OpenStudy (rogue):

:) What's OS?

OpenStudy (rogue):

Oh, openstudy, lol.
