OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

find the anti derivative

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

\[f'(t) = \frac{ 4 }{ 1+t^2}\]

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

where f(1) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, do you want to do it through integration?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like arctan. Anyway, initially I would probably just use a trig function due to the \(1+x^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean \(1+t^2\).

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay so 4(arctan) + c for starting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, if you're allowed to use that fact, then it would make things easy

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

okay so now how do I find c?

OpenStudy (johnnydicamillo):

0 = 4(arctan(1))?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You use \(f(1)=0\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So letting \(t=1\) and the whole thing \(=0\), you have an equation to find \(C\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alternatively you may use: \[ f(t) -f(1)= \int^t_1f'(x)~dx \]
