Show that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ d }{ dx }(\frac{ x }{ x+4 })=\frac{ 4 }{ (x+4)^2 }.Hence,find~\int\limits \frac{ 4 }{ (x+4)^{2}~ }dx\]

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

What do youknow about the fundamental thoerem of calculus 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F(x)=\int\limits_{a}^{x}f(t)~dt\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what do you mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not very sure can u pls explain to me?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Fundamental theorem of calculus part 1 says this : If \(F(x)=\int\limits_{a}^{x}\color{blue}{f(t)}~dt\), then : \[\dfrac{d}{dx}F(x) =\color{blue}{ f(x)}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Also, we can show below : If \(\dfrac{d}{dx}F(x) =\color{blue}{ f(x)}\), then : \(\int \color{blue}{ f(x)}\,dx =F(x) + C\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Read the given problem again

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

We're given \(\dfrac{d}{dx}\dfrac{x}{x+4} =\color{blue}{ \dfrac{4}{(x+4)^2}}\), and we need to evaluate \(\int \color{blue}{\dfrac{4}{(x+4)^2}}dx=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[\int\limits\limits \frac{ 4 }{ (x+4)^2 }~dx=\frac{ x }{ x+4 }\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Very close! just add +C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you @ganeshie8
