Find F'(x) when F(x)=sin(-x^2) intergral from 0 to x^2 of e^(t)^(2)dt.
Ooo interesting problem! :)
\[\Large\rm F(x)=\sin(-x^2)\int\limits_0^{x^2} e^{t^{2}}~dt\] Find \(\Large\rm F'(x)\). This is the problem? That look correct?
Yes.
I'm gonna use some shorthand notation for a sec, \[\Large\rm F(x)=\sin(-x^2)\cdot Int\]So to find the derivative, we apply product rule, yes?\[\Large\rm F'(x)=\color{royalblue}{\left[\sin(-x^2)\right]'}\cdot Int+\sin(-x^2)\cdot \color{royalblue}{\left[Int\right]'}\]
So we need the derivative of these blue parts. Understand how to deal with the first one?
Okay, but where do I go from there? So far in calculus we have only learned the fundamental theorem of calculus. So they expect us to do it that way.
You apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1, to take the derivative of that integral. We can go over that in a sec if you need. But first deal with the sin(-x^2) derivative. You just apply normal rules to deal with that. Do you remember how?
Yeah, that would be -2cos(x^2), right?
\[\Large\rm (\sin(-x^2))'=\cos(-x^2)(-2x)\]If you want to absorb the negative inside the cosine function, (since it's an odd function) I guess you can do that...\[\Large\rm =-2x \cos(x^2)\] but it's probably better to leave the negative inside alone.\[\Large\rm -2x \cos(-x^2)\]
Yours looks a little different, do you understand where the x came from? Derivative of x^2 is 2x, right?
Yeah, I just wrote it down wrong when taking the derivative. Sorry about that. I just redid it and got the same answer as you.
cool c: so for the derivative of the integral, it's a little weird! We'll apply the FTC, part 1:\[\Large\rm \frac{d}{dx}\int\limits_0^x f(t)~dt=f(x)\]
So that would be \[e ^{x ^{2}}\].
It's a bit more complicated than that since our upper limit isn't just "x". Lemme try to explain this in a way that will make sense...
Okay.
\[\huge\rm \int\limits\limits_0^{x^2} e^{\color{orangered}{t}^{2}}~dt\quad=\quad \int\limits\limits_0^{x^2} f(\color{orangered}{t})~dt\]So you correctly identified the f(t) that we're integrating.
Integrating will give us "something", let's call it F(t) the anti-derivative. This is the part that is a little hard for some students to understand: We're not actually looking for an anti-derivative, we're assuming one exists and writing it as F(t). We'll plug in our boundaries:\[\huge\rm F(\color{orangered}{t})|_0^{x^2}\quad=\quad F(\color{orangered}{x^2})-F(\color{orangered}{0})\]
Then if we want to take the derivative, we end up back at our original f function,\[\huge f(\color{orangered}{x^2})\cdot 2x-0\]
Since the inner function (x^2) was more than just "x", I had to apply the chain rule.
I know I know it's a weird process!! ~You anti-differentiate ~plug in boundaries ~differentiate So you end up with the same thing you started with, but it's got a little baggage along with it now.
Isn't that the second step of the fundamental theorem of calculus though?
True I guess it is! :) I'm using both steps of the fundamental theorem to show what's going on.
Oh, okay!
F(0) is some anti-derivative of e^{t^2} with 0 plugged in. So the whole thing ends up being a costant value. When you take the derivative of a constant, you get zero right? That's why F(0) is giving us zero when we take it's derivative with respect to x.
\[\huge =f(\color{orangered}{x^2})\cdot 2x\]\[\huge\rm =e^{(\color{orangered}{x^2})^2}\cdot 2x\]
You have to plug the entire x^2 into the t. See how we get an extra square because of the square that was already on the t?
Oh, that makes a lot more sense now.
Yah this is a tricky problem! If you have a good grasp on the FTC, Part 2, it really helps here. When you're able to setup your F(b)-F(a), you can see where the pieces are coming from, like that 2x.
So would you have to do anything else with the derivative of sin(-x^2)?
cos(-x) = cos(x) because cosine is an even function* blah I said odd before.. mistake. So you can write your \[\Large\rm \cos(-x^2)\]as\[\Large\rm \cos(x^2)\]if you want. But that doesn't seem necessary.
\[\Large\rm F'(x)=\color{royalblue}{\left[\sin(-x^2)\right]'}\cdot Int+\sin(-x^2)\cdot \color{royalblue}{\left[Int\right]'}\] \[\Large\rm F'(x)=-2x\cos(-x^2)\cdot Int+\sin(-x^2)\cdot 2x\cdot e^{x^4}\]Something like that yah? :o
With the integral part written out* I'm too lazy though lol
Okay, thank you so much for all your help!
