Derivative of integrals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[\frac{d}{dx}\int_{a}^{x}f(t)\space dt=f(x)\\f(x) = \frac{e^x}{x}\] you have \[\frac{d}{dt}\int_{t}^{2}\frac{e^x}{x}\space dx=-\frac{d}{dt}\int_{2}^{t}\frac{e^x}{x}\space dx=-f(t) = -\frac{e^x}{x}\]

One correction @zzr0ck3r...the x should be a t...I know picky but it should

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

right

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I copied it from above:)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[-\frac{e^t}{t}\]

@lizmariej do you see how this worked?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

All we really had to do was flip the bounds. Then the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus did all the work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, thankyou.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so if the bounds were from a to x, we would have just wrote f(t) as the answer...no work needed.

or in your case 2 and t
