how do i start? im stuck cos of the limit \(h(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't see the whole question!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the whole question

Would the derivative of an integral just be the same? sqrt(t^2+4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but im confused with the limit \(h(x)\)

OpenStudy (psymon):

I would think it'd be this: \[\sqrt{(h(x))^{2}+4}*h'(x)\] Derivative of an integral using the fundamental theorem of calculus. Let the upper limit of an integral be h(x) like so: \[\int\limits_{0}^{h(x)}f(x)dx\] Then the derivative of this function is: \[f(h(x))*h'(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.dont.get.it.sorry! what about the \(4\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i have to let \(u= h(x)\)?

OpenStudy (psymon):

Nah, this isn't really integration at all. I mean it is, but when it wants the derivative of an integral, we are just measuring the change of the function as it goes from the lower limit to the upper limit ofintegration. So there is no real u-sub, raise the power etc. It's just kind of a formula for it. You COULD integrate it and then take the derivative at the very end, but you'd get the same answer for infinitely more effort. It's best to just remember theprocedure for how to solve them: \[\frac{ d }{ dx }\int\limits_{0}^{h(x)}f(x)dx = f(h(x))*h'(x)\] Whatever your upper limit of integration is, plug that into every x in your original function, then multiply everything by the derivative of whatever that upper limit is.
