Find F ′(x) for F(x)=[2, x^3] sin(t^4) dt
\[\int\limits_{x^3}^{2} \sin (t^4) dt\]
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)
Possible answers: sin(2^4) – sin(x^12) sin(x^7) –sin(x^12) –3x^2sin(x^12)
And the result will be negative since the x^3 portion is in the lower limit
Ok so sin(t^4) sin((x^3)^4) = sin(x^12)
that's part of it
then sin(x^12)*(3x)?
3x^2
yes, oops
–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!
sure thing
so first replace t with x^3 \[\sin((x^3)^4)\] and then apply the chain rule ? so why it is not \[\sin ( x^{12}) \cdot 12x^{11}\] ??
because we're applying the derivative to x^3
ohh okay so multiply the function by the derivative of x^3
ahh okay got it not even applying the chain rule thanks!
