derivative of integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx }\int\limits_{1/x}^{\pi} \cos ^{3}t\]

myininaya (myininaya):

Ok let's do something in general \[\text{ Let } g(x)=\int\limits_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(t)dt\] Say the antiderivative of f is F then \[g(x)=F(t)|_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\] so \[g(x)=F(b(x))-F(a(x))\] Your objective is to find the derivative of g with respect to x though... all we need to know is chain rule... \[g'(x)=b'(x) \cdot F'(b(x))-a'(x) \cdot F'(a(x))\] Then Recall F'=f \[g'(x)=b'(x) \cdot f(b(x))-a'(x) \cdot f(a(x))\]

sweet, thanks!

myininaya (myininaya):

You're good with that? You understand with no questions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda. basically you want to plug the limits of integration into the function, and then take the derivative using chain rule?

myininaya (myininaya):

but also in the answer we got we didn't even need to find the antiderivative because nowhere in that formula did we have F we had F' which was f

myininaya (myininaya):

Like you can let f(t)=cos^3(t) let a(x)=1/x let b(x)=pi

myininaya (myininaya):

find a' and b'

myininaya (myininaya):

and then plug away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could use trig identity for your problem \[\cos^2(t) = \frac{1+\cos(2t)}{2}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

I thinks it cube not squared also he doesn't need to do any integration for his problem
