Help please! Find dy/dx. Problems below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1.) y= \int\limits_{0}^{x^2} (\cos \sqrt{t}) dt\] \[2.) y=\int\limits_{\tan x}^{0} \frac{ dt }{ 1+t^2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you learned substitution of variable trick?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've learned substitution but have a hard time applying it, and doing it. @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, for a, you will let u= y^(1/2) then you will get du in terms of dt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=t^(1/2)**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No actually, this doesnt get you anywhere. LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried, and it doesnt simplify at all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[du= \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 2 integral (ucosudu)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you let \[u=t^{1/2}\] then\[du=\frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is (u) not t^1/2? @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}fdg=fg-\int\limits_{?}^{?}gdf\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that confused me haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you know that f= u, dg must be cosu du, df=du, g= sinu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The above is just a theorem of integration. just remember it. :((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got du=(1/2)t^(-1/2)dt,so solve for dt, and thats how you get integral 2ucosudu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that makes no sense :/ @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you show me work as to how you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=t^(1/2), du= (1/2)t^(-1/2)dt, dt= 2t^(1/2)du, substituting it into cos t^(1/2)du= you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dt**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integral 2ucosudu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the two outside of integral sign as it is constant--> 2integral ucosudu

OpenStudy (loser66):

I think katherine.ok (hehe, this nick is ok, then) is right. from here take integral by part.

OpenStudy (psymon):

I wasn't sure if he would know integration by parts. I just wanted to sit back just in case there was some trick to this that didn't require by parts xD

OpenStudy (psymon):

Well, without knowing myself, I have a50/50 shot, right? xD @Loser66

OpenStudy (psymon):

Or you could just say you win at being a loser? O.o

OpenStudy (psymon):

So any idea about integration by parts? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this question was done by integration by parts...

OpenStudy (psymon):

Well, I'm used to seeing this kind of question in a calc 1 class, so didn't know if there was maybe another way then. Sorry.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 2(sqrt(t)sint^(1/2)+cost^(1/2))+ Constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u= t^{1/2}\] \[du= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } t^{-1/2}\] \[dt=2t^{1/2}\] \[=> cost^{1/2} dt\] \[=\int\limits_{}^{} 2u*\cos(u) du = 2\int\limits_{}^{} u*\cos(u) du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY that is correct.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Definite integral, no + C :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now pdd you need to do ∫??fdg=fg−∫??gdf, where u=t^(1/2), du= (1/2)t^(-1/2)dt, dt= 2t^(1/2)du,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. and yes +C @Psymon where do I go from there to get dy/dx @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (psymon):

Your limits are from 0 to x^2, though, why would there be a + C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∫fdg=fg−∫gdf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesnt matter if theres a c or not. I always do indefinite first, then sub in values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm, it has an interval so no constant. @Psymon you confused me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i evaluate the integral with ∫fdg=fg−∫gdf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And when you sub in, constant term can be ignored. right?

OpenStudy (psymon):

I was just remarking because she initially put + C. I was correcting just in case......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhhhh! i'm getting confused and frustrated -.-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f= u, dg must be cosu du, df=du, g= sinu

OpenStudy (psymon):

Just do by parts, don't worry about c or no c yet :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got the first part. so now how do i evaluate it. and I didnt learn what you were trying to describe @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

∫fdg=fg−∫gdf, where f= u, dg must be cosu du, df=du, g= sinu... soooo fg= usinu , ∫gdf is ∫sinudu, and now you can INTEGRATE THIS

OpenStudy (psymon):

Have you ever seen integration by parts @pdd21 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i have not. @Psymon that's my problem... if I show my work @katherine.ok 's way my professor will be confused as to how I know this..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After that integration of ∫gdf, and finding what fg−∫gdf is equal to, substitute min and max, and there is your answer.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yeah, that's my concern, too. That being said, are you sure this isn't finding the derivative of the integral? Sinceyou havent seen by parts before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is integration by parts combined with ∫fdg=fg−∫gdf formula. Nothing special...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says to find dy/dx......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i didn't learn it that way. @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (psymon):

Can't be trying to show him something in calc 2 when she's in calc 1 xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly what @Psymon said @katherine.ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After integration, you will have y= numbers and x's. then you get dy/dx... I dont know simpler way than the way i presented to you sorry:(

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yeah, I only know the integration by parts method, too. If this were the derivative of theintegral, I would know what to do, but without that I am unsure. I doubt you have any answer choices, huh? xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No i dont have answer choices. ;/ @Psymon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you show me the integration by parts...

OpenStudy (psymon):

Alright. Well, I use different letters than katherine uses, but this is theidea. You usually have two things you can pick in your integral. One of the things you choose must be easy or convenient to differentiate and the 2nd thing must be easy or convenient to integrate. Now it may not look like it, but you do have 2 good candidates. What I would choose to differentiate would be cos(t^(1/2)) and what I could choose to integrate would be simply dt. Now what we choose to differentiate I would call u and what I choose tointegrate I would call v. Make sense so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Alright, cool. Now the formula for integration by parts is this then: \[u \int\limits_{}^{}v - [u'\int\limits_{}^{}v]\] So essentially we take regular u and multiply it by integral v then subtract what we get after doing u prime times integral v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v is the funtion right?

OpenStudy (psymon):

Well, u and v are pieces of the entire function. In this case, I chose u to be cos(t^(1/2)) and v to be dt. I chose u to be the cos term because in the integration by parts formula, you need one term to differentiate and one term to integrate. cos is the easy term to differentiate and dt is the easy term to integrate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay..

OpenStudy (psymon):

Mhm. So what would be integral dt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos(t^{1/2})\int\limits_{}^{} dt - [ v' \int\limits_{}^{} dt\]

OpenStudy (psymon):

Right. we just need to know what u' and integral v are, though :P integral dt is just t. Think you got the derivative of cost^1/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u'=\frac{ -\sin \sqrt{t} }{ 2\sqrt{t} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Psymon

OpenStudy (psymon):

Sorry, had to be away for a sec. But yeah, that would be your derivative. I'm just jumping ahead and checking the solution myself is all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.. \[\cos(t^{1/2})\int\limits_{}^{} dt = \frac{ -\sin \sqrt{t} }{ 2 \sqrt{t} } \int\limits_{}^{} dt\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where do I go from there? @Psymon

OpenStudy (psymon):

Hmm...it looks like we do need to do that u-substitution first -_-

OpenStudy (psymon):

But the method is still the same. Just was looking at it and it looks like it goes in circles if you don't sub first like katherine did.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Bleh, guess I suck at these more than I think. Alright, so we'll do integration by parts with what katherine had \[2\int\limits_{}^{}u cosu du \] so I'll just choose my u (what Ill take the derivative of) to be u and my v (what Ill integrate) to be cosu. So back to the formula, which apparently I typed wrong *headdesk* \[u \int\limits_{}^{}v - [\int\limits_{}^{}(u'\int\limits_{}^{}v)]\] It's a bit funky, but I'll plug in the values and you can see. So since my....u was u, u' is just 1. And since my v was cosu, my integral v is sinu. So now I'll plug all this into the formula to get: \[usinu -[\int\limits_{}^{}(1sinu)]\] So basically in that second part, you do two integrals. The integral of v and then the integral of u' times integral v. So if I simplify this I then have: \[usinu + cosu\] Since u = sqrt(t), I'll sub that back in. \[\sqrt{t}*\sin(\sqrt{t}) + \cos (\sqrt{t})\] from 0 to x^2.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Oh, and forgot to multiply the 2 back in x_x

OpenStudy (psymon):

\[2\sqrt{t}*\sin(\sqrt{t}) + \cos(\sqrt{t})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhh... I see that makes more sense now.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Yeah, lol. It's just I forgot to add the extra integral in the 2nd part. But yes, you pick something easy to differentiate and something easy to integrate. Then the combination of the two using that formula gets you your integral. Now just plug in your limits :3

OpenStudy (psymon):

2nd one is WAYYYYY easier o.o

OpenStudy (psymon):

@SithsAndGiggles Yo, since you're here. You know a way to do her first integral problem without doing by parts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As far as I can tell, there's no integration that needs to be done. The problem says "Find dy/dx." Think fundamental theorem of calc: \[\frac{d}{dx}\int_c^{g(x)}f(t)~dt=f(g(x))\times g'(x)\]

OpenStudy (psymon):

Right, I would've thought that as well if it was what you posted d/dx of the integral. But since I didn't see that, I wasn't sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But just to entertain the idea of integrating, a substitution should do the trick: \[\int_0^{x^2}\cos\sqrt t~dt\] Let \(u=\sqrt t~\Rightarrow~du=\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt t}~dt~\Rightarrow~2u~du=dt\). \[2\int_0^{x}u\cos u~du\] Followed by integration by parts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...which @katherine.ok suggested earlier.

OpenStudy (psymon):

Right. And which we started going off of. I'm just too stupid to try and sub first before doing integration by parts. Once I started running in circles I just went back to what katherine did. But I was mainly curious to see if there was something else. I would definitely think this is fundamental theorem, but wasnt positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, like I said before, this is definitely a problem of applying FTC since you're differentiating an integral. So for the first integral, if \[y=\int_0^{x^2}\cos\sqrt t~dt\] then its derivative with respect to x is \[\begin{align*}\frac{dy}{dx}&=\frac{d}{dx}\int_0^{x^2}\cos\sqrt t~dt\\ &=\cos\left(x^2\right)\times 2x\\ &=2x\cos\left(x^2\right) \end{align*}\] And that would be the answer to the first @pdd21.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. that made it easier to understand @SithsAndGiggles

OpenStudy (psymon):

Dunno why my brain didn't think differentiating it x_x I start doing these problems and realize I don't know them as well as I think.
