Need to find G ' (2)

OpenStudy (precal):

OpenStudy (precal):

I don't know what to do with the integral part

OpenStudy (precal):

\[G(x)=x^2+\int\limits_{-2}^{2x}f(t)dt\]

OpenStudy (precal):

I am thinking that I have to find the derivatives from -2 to 4, in that case it turns into 0 but I am not sure

OpenStudy (aum):

G'(x) = 2x + f(2x) G'(2) = 2(2) + f(4) = 4 + 0 = 4

OpenStudy (phi):

the derivative of the integral is zero, but the details are hazy.

OpenStudy (precal):

so what I doing it correct by looking at the derivatives of the integral? of was I suppose to do f(2x)

OpenStudy (phi):

it might be f(2x) - f(-2) which gives f(4) - f(-2) = 0 - 0 = 0 but like I said, it's a bit hazy, and I will have to google it.

OpenStudy (precal):

@aum care to elaborate for us?

OpenStudy (aum):

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (part 1) \(\Large F(x) = \int_a^xf(t)dt \\ \Large F'(x) = f(x) \)

OpenStudy (phi):

it's just f(2x)

OpenStudy (precal):

Thanks, I guess I get confused because the drawing is involved

OpenStudy (aum):

You are welcome.

OpenStudy (phi):

the drawing gives you the value of f(4)

OpenStudy (precal):

thanks, I will bookmark that page for future reference @phi

OpenStudy (precal):

thanks aum

OpenStudy (aum):

Oh, I forgot to include the 2 above. G'(x) = 2x + 2 * f(2x) G'(2) = 2(2) + 2 * f(4) = 4 + 2* 0 = 4
