FTC part 2 ?
\[g(x)=\int\limits_{2}^{3x}(2t+3)dt\]
So do I just integrate and sub the limits as usual
everything turns into dx
my instructions are to find the derivative of each of the following functions defined by integrals
yeah and then F(b) - F(a)
ok let me do it on my paper and can you double check my solution please
yeah integration is not needed, just evaluate the bounds
so I just sub the limits and not integrate
\[\large g(x)=\int\limits_{2}^{3x}(2t+3)dt\] \[\large g'(x)=\dfrac{d}{dx}\int\limits_{2}^{3x}(2t+3)dt\]
\[\large =(2(3x)+3) (3x)'\]
\[\large =(2(3x)+3) (3)\]
need an explanation ? :)
yes, please
lets work out a more general problem : \[\large \dfrac{d}{dx} \int \limits_{a}^{g(x)} f(t) dt = ?\]
say, \(F(t) = \int f(t) dt\), then : \[\int \limits_a^b f(t) dt = F(b) - F(a)\]
take the derivative with respect to x both sides : \[\dfrac{d}{dx}\int \limits_a^b f(t) dt = \dfrac{d}{dx} F(b) - \dfrac{d}{dx}F(a)\]
In our present problem, b = g(x), a = some constant since the derivative of constant is 0, we get : \[\dfrac{d}{dx}\int \limits_a^b f(t) dt = \dfrac{d}{dx} F(b) - \dfrac{d}{dx}F(a)\] \[ = \dfrac{d}{dx} F(b) - 0\] \[ = \dfrac{d}{dx} F(b) \]
does that look okay so far
yes I am writing this all down on my class notes so I can study it. I have 6 of these types of problems to do.
next take the derivative using chain rule
keep in mind that b is not a constant number, b = g(x) is a function of x
so my final solution is 18x+9
18x+9 is correct for the original problem
wait the second part for this one is d/dx F(2)
when I sub 2 I get 2(2)+3=7 and the derivative of a constant is zero
exactly ! so we don't need to bother about the lower bound
Formula : \[\dfrac{d}{dx}\int \limits_a^{g(x)} f(t) dt = f(g(x)) \times g'(x)\]
if I have a number on either bound does that mean I disregard the upper or lower bound In the next problem the upper bound is -1 so I will disregard the upper bound, correct
yep ! cuz when u differentiate it, it vanishes..
thanks, looks like now I know how to do the other 5 problems. Thank so much
careful about the signs... \(\int_a^b \ne \int_b^a\)
\(\int_a^b = - \int_b^a\)
yes I will look out for that
just making sure :) when you have g(x) in the bottom, you need to change the formula accordingly - add a negative sign in front....
yes that is one of the properties of integrals or something like that (I don't recall it exact name)
Can you check the next one I did? the lower bond is -2
only if you have time, if not I am confident in your teaching and my learning.
