Find the derivative of the function....

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

\[F(x)=\int\limits_{1}^{\sqrt{x}}\frac{ t ^{2} }{ t ^{2}+1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of the integral is the integrand, plus chain rule replace \(t\) by \(\sqrt{x}\) and the via the chain rule multiply by \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

clear?

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

not completely that is the part I'm having the issue with. what I want to do is this t^2(t^2+1)^-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whoa back up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(t)=\frac{ t ^{2} }{ t ^{2}+1 }\] replace \(t\) by \(\sqrt{x}\)

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

yeah my mind want the denominator on top...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{d}{dx}\int _a^xf(t)dt=f(x)\] for example \[\frac{d}{dx}\int _a^x\sin(t)dt=\sin(x)\]and \[\frac{d}{dx}\int _a^x\frac{t}{t-1}dt=\frac{x}{x-1}\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

so replace t with x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only difference in my example and yours is that the upper limit of integration is not \(x\) it is \(\sqrt{x}\) making this a composite function replace \(t\) by \(\sqrt{x}\) is all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then by the chain rule, multiply by the derivative of \(\sqrt{x}\) which is \(\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it if was just \[F(x)=\int_1^x\frac{t^2}{t^2+1}dt\] then the answer would be \[F'(x)=\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}\] but this is a composition, it is like \[F(\sqrt{x})\] so the derivative is \[\frac{\sqrt{x}^2}{\sqrt{x}^2+1}\times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\] which of course cleans up a lot via algebra

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

i have \[\frac{ x }{ 2x \sqrt{x} +2\sqrt{x}}\] from that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

do I need to break it down more I'm not sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would have left it as \[\frac{x}{x+1}\times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\] but you are right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer looks good i guess you could do even more algebra, but who cares?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually nothing useful leave it as that hope the idea is clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F(x)=\int_1^{\sin(x)}e^tdt\] \[F'(x)=e^{\sin(x)}\times \cos(x)\] is another example

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

Yes, I definitely get it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k good and also easy right? when you know what you are doing otherwise it is very confusing, like you have to evaluate the integral or something

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

exactly
