is it true i have to use ftoc 1?
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
I don't get it :(
I'm trying to think of a way to explain this clearly.
do i have to use substitution?
it will take me a few minutes to get my thoughts clear
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 \[ \frac{d}{dx} \tan(x^2) = \frac{d\tan(x^2) }{dx}\frac{d}{dx} x^2 \]
but what do i have to do with the integration ? :(
Yes, indeed. That makes use of the Chain Rule. Nicely presented.
and by definition, the integral is \[ \int_a^b F'(x) \ dx = F(b) - F(a) \]
the derivative discards information, as in it just returns the integrand without the limits
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 \[ \tan( (x^4)^2) \frac{d}{dx} x^4 - \tan(4) \frac{d}{dx} 4 \]
the second term is 0. you end up with \[ 4 x^3 \tan(x^8) \]
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.
@phi how do you have tan(4)d/dx4
it's \(\tan(2^2)\) : \(\tan(x^2)\) evaluated at \(x=2\).
oh okay i got it, thank you guys so much, can you please help me with another problem?
x=2y^2 is a parabola "to the right".|dw:1460507704381:dw| Draw the other curve on this graph.
