\[\int\limits_{x^3}^{2} \sin (t^4) dt\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
You'd use the fundamental theorem of calculus. When you differentiate an integral, it effectively goes away. That's because integrals are the inverse of a derivative.
You'll be left with sin(t^4). Replace each 't' with x^3. Then simplify. Don't forget to multiply by the derivative of x^3 (basically using the chain rule)
OpenStudy (erinkb99):
Possible answers:
sin(2^4) – sin(x^12)
sin(x^7)
–sin(x^12)
–3x^2sin(x^12)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
And the result will be negative since the x^3 portion is in the lower limit
OpenStudy (erinkb99):
Ok so
sin(t^4)
sin((x^3)^4) = sin(x^12)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
that's part of it
OpenStudy (erinkb99):
then sin(x^12)*(3x)?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
3x^2
OpenStudy (erinkb99):
yes, oops
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
–3x^2sin(x^12) would be the answer
if the x^3 was the upper limit, then the result wouldn't have a negative out front

Ok thanks so much!
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
sure thing
Nnesha (nnesha):
so first replace t with x^3 \[\sin((x^3)^4)\]
and then apply the chain rule ?
so why it is not \[\sin ( x^{12}) \cdot 12x^{11}\] ??
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
because we're applying the derivative to x^3
Nnesha (nnesha):
ohh okay so multiply the function by the derivative of x^3

ahh okay got it
not even applying the chain rule
thanks!
