\[f(x)=\int\limits\limits_{-3}^{x^2}t^4dt\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
First do this: \[
g(y) = \int\limits\limits_{-3}^{y}t^4dt
\]

Hera, is the question asking you to find \(\large f'(x)\) by chance? :o
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then consider the relationship between \(g(y)\) and \(f(x)\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It is zepdrix

That is \[
f(x) = g(x^2)
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This means, by chain rule: \[
f'(x) = g'(x^2)(x^2)'
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[
g'(x^2) = g'(y)
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you get it yet?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
AH! I was doing the derivative of the 2nd part wrong

In short \[
f(x)=\int\limits\limits_{a}^{g(x)}h(t)dt \implies f'(x) = h(g(x))g'(x)
\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Awesome!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Did you understand how I got that though, using just the fundamental theorem of calculus and chain rule?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah I'm a little slow but you explained it really well
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Another way to think about it:\[
f(x)=\int\limits\limits_{a}^{g(x)}h(t)dt \implies \frac{df}{dg} = h(g(x))\\
\frac{df}{dx} = \frac{df}{dg}\frac{dg}{dx} = h(g(x))g'(x)
\]
