What is the original function of this derivative?

OpenStudy (steve816):

\large f'(x)=\frac{ (\cos(x))^2(x^2-x-2.1) }{ \sqrt{x^2+1} }\]

OpenStudy (steve816):

Ok, something is wrong with my LaTex

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

\[\large f'(x)=\frac{ (\cos(x))^2(x^2-x-2.1) }{ \sqrt{x^2+1} }\]

OpenStudy (steve816):

Wat, how did you do that? I need to learn how to use latex

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i dunno i just copy/pasted what you had haha yeah that is nt a fun integral :(

OpenStudy (steve816):

Can you just post the answer I can use a calcualtor.

OpenStudy (steve816):

I don't know how to sue integral on my calculator.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

calculator can only approximate a definite integral, you have to put in limits

OpenStudy (steve816):

waat can you please post the antiderivative of this function.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

in other words there is no way of taking the antiderivative

OpenStudy (steve816):

Ok, I want to find the max/min location of the original function from the interval -6 <= x <= 7 What is the answer to this?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh that we can do.... set derivative function equal to 0 to find max/min hmm but how to plug critical values into original...

OpenStudy (steve816):

I just need the x values for max/min

OpenStudy (518nad):

just wolfram alpha it

DivineSolar (divinesolar):

So just cheat it?

OpenStudy (steve816):

How do I wolfram alpha this?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

By the way your LaTeX didn't format properly because you're missing the \[ in front.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

here is wolfram trying to find antiderivative https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+(cos%5E2+x)+(x%5E2+-x-2.1)%2Fsqrt(x%5E2%2B1)+dx

OpenStudy (steve816):

Ok thanks guys, so wolframalpha can't even calculate the antiderivative.
