Help with a calculus question!

OpenStudy (freckles):

can i see the link how you put it into wolfram?

OpenStudy (freckles):

I would have done this: \[\text{ let } g(x)=\sqrt{1+x^2} \\ F(x)=G(1)-G(x) \text{ where } G'=g \\ \\ \text{ then differentiate both sides } \\ \] then plug in 1 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just got out of it but ill do it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait, now i got -sqrt of 2

OpenStudy (freckles):

that sounds better are you just suppose to use a calculator to evaluate this?

OpenStudy (freckles):

like you don't need to know how to do without one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess it says it in the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i think that would be the next lesson(:

OpenStudy (freckles):

do you know this \[\int\limits_{}^{}g(t) dt=G(t)+C\] Where G'=g \[F(x)=\int\limits_{x}^{1}g(t) dt=G(t)|^1_x=G(1)-G(x)\]

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[\text{differenatiating both sides of } F(x)=G(1)-G(x) \text{ gives } F'(x)=[G(1)-G(x)]' \\ F'(x)=[G(1)]'-[G(x)]'\] But guess what G(1) is just a constant and the derivative of a constant is ?
