OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it true i have to use ftoc 1?

OpenStudy (phi):

the derivative of the integral returns the original function but with some "details" imagine we found the integral F(x) (whatever it happens to be) and we put in 2 for the lower limit: F(2). that is now a constant (a fixed value) so we can ignore the lower limit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get it :(

OpenStudy (phi):

I'm trying to think of a way to explain this clearly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i have to use substitution?

OpenStudy (phi):

it will take me a few minutes to get my thoughts clear

OpenStudy (phi):

This is a bit abstract but by definition \[ \frac{d}{dx} F(x) = F'(x) \ dx\] that says the derivative of a function F(x) is F'(x) (i.e. its derivative) times the derivative of its argument x for example \[ \frac{d}{dx} \tan(x^2) = \frac{d\tan(x^2) }{dx}\frac{d}{dx} x^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what do i have to do with the integration ? :(

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Yes, indeed. That makes use of the Chain Rule. Nicely presented.

OpenStudy (phi):

and by definition, the integral is \[ \int_a^b F'(x) \ dx = F(b) - F(a) \]

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

the derivative discards information, as in it just returns the integrand without the limits

OpenStudy (phi):

and if we take the derivative of the integral, we have your problem \[ \frac{d}{dx} \int_a^b F'(x) \ dx = \frac{d}{dx} F(b) - \frac{d}{dx} F(a) \\ = F'(b) \ d b - F'(a) \ d a\] in your case F'(x) matches up with tan(x^2) and you should get \[ \tan( (x^4)^2) \frac{d}{dx} x^4 - \tan(4) \frac{d}{dx} 4 \]

OpenStudy (phi):

the second term is 0. you end up with \[ 4 x^3 \tan(x^8) \]

OpenStudy (reemii):

it's a bit annoying that \(x\) is used everywhere (in \(\tan( x^2)\) too), but I think you must think of it as a \(u\), and \(dx\) as \(du\). Then @phi gave the solution.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi how do you have tan(4)d/dx4

OpenStudy (reemii):

it's \(\tan(2^2)\) : \(\tan(x^2)\) evaluated at \(x=2\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay i got it, thank you guys so much, can you please help me with another problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (reemii):

x=2y^2 is a parabola "to the right".|dw:1460507704381:dw| Draw the other curve on this graph.
