Derivative of ∫ (1+v^3)^10 dv from sinx to cosx | Ashleigh N.

In summary, we are finding the derivative of the integral from sinx to cosx of (1+v^3)^10, which can be simplified using the chain rule and the fundamental theorem of calculus to give the final answer of -sin(x)*(1+cos^3(x))^10-cos(x)*(1+sin^3(x))^10.

Hello Ashleigh N.,

We are given to evaluate:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{\sin(x)}^{\cos(x)} \left(1+v^3 \right)^{10}\,dv \right)\)

If we define $F(u)$ to be a function such that:

\(\displaystyle \frac{dF}{du}=f(u)=\left(1+u^3 \right)^{10}\) then by the FTOC and the chain rule, we may state:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{\sin(x)}^{\cos(x)} \left(1+v^3 \right)^{10}\,dv \right)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(F\left(\cos(x) \right)-F\left(\sin(x) \right) \right)=\frac{d}{dx}F\left(\cos(x) \right)-\frac{d}{dx}F\left(\sin(x) \right)=\)

\(\displaystyle f\left(\cos(x) \right)\frac{d}{dx}\cos(x)-f\left(\sin(x) \right)\frac{d}{dx}\sin(x)=-\sin(x)\left(1+\cos^3(x) \right)^{10}-\cos(x)\left(1+\sin^3(x) \right)^{10}\)
 

FAQ: Derivative of ∫ (1+v^3)^10 dv from sinx to cosx | Ashleigh N.

1. What is the derivative of the integral of (1+v^3)^10 dv from sinx to cosx?

The derivative of the integral is the function inside the integral multiplied by the derivative of the upper limit minus the derivative of the lower limit. In this case, it would be (1+v^3)^10 * (-sinx) - (1+v^3)^10 * (-cosx) = (1+v^3)^10 * (cosx - sinx).

2. Do I need to use the chain rule when finding the derivative?

Yes, you will need to use the chain rule because the function inside the integral is raised to a power of 10. The chain rule states that when differentiating a function raised to a power, you multiply the power by the derivative of the function.

3. Can I use any other method to find the derivative?

Yes, you can use the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the derivative. This states that the derivative of an integral from a to b can be found by evaluating the integrand at the upper limit and the lower limit and subtracting the two values. In this case, the derivative would be (1+cos^3x)^10 - (1+sin^3x)^10.

4. Can the integral be simplified before finding the derivative?

Yes, you can simplify the integral by expanding the binomial (1+v^3)^10 before finding the derivative. This will make the calculation easier and may result in a simpler answer.

5. Is there a general formula for finding the derivative of an integral?

Yes, the general formula for finding the derivative of an integral is the function inside the integral multiplied by the derivative of the upper limit minus the derivative of the lower limit. This is known as the fundamental theorem of calculus and can be used to find the derivative of any integral.
