Anyone wanna help with the fundamental theorems of calculus? :D

Question

scottedwards2000 · Answer

Like the conceptualization of the derivative as a limit?  Or the chain rule? ;-)

thatonegirl_ · Answer

Like the first and second theorems and applying them to problems

thatonegirl_ · Answer

For example... one of my many questions xD
if f is the antiderivative of
$$\frac{ x^2 }{ 1+x^5 }$$
such that f(1)=0, then f(4)=?

scottedwards2000 · Answer

That's a good one.  Antiderivative is the integral right?  That one looks like a tough one to integrate...

thatonegirl_ · Answer

Yup

thatonegirl_ · Answer

well i figured out tht to set it up it would look like$$\int\limits_{1}^{4} \frac{ x^2 }{ 1+x^5 }$$

and i got the answer using my calc but idk how to do it without it lol

loll haven't done any of tht yet.. Is there like a "backwards" quotient rule??

thatonegirl_ · Answer

I feel like tht would b helpful in this, but we haven't talked about one yet if there is

scottedwards2000 · Answer

not sure what that would be... they have a step by step link which shows you how to get there, but you have to subscribe.  I think i created an account one time and got a free trial.  it was really cool - showed you how to do it.
