Here is the question:
I have posted a link there to this thread so the OP can view my work.
Derivative of integral?
F(x) = integral of e^(t^2)dt (upper limit = cosx, lower limit = sinx)
Now find F'(x) at x=0
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS :O
Okay so this is what I did,
solve integration, answer is [e^(t^2)]/2t
[2t is the derivative of power(t^2), you're suppose to DIVIDE the integration by the derivative, riiight?]
I put t=cosx, t=sinx
So, it becomes
e^({cosx}^2)]/2cosx - e^({sinx}^2)]/2cosx
Now I take its derivative...
which turns out to be very complicated so I think I'm doing it wrong, because it is supposed to be not-so-long.
THIS IS THE ANSWER GIVEN AT THE BACK:
Answer:
F ′(x)=exp (cos2 (x)) ·−sin (x)−exp (sin2 (x)) · cos (x) by FTOC
F ′(0)=exp (1) · 0−exp (0) · 1=−1
NOW HOLD ON A SECOND.
ISNT DERIVATIVE OF AN INTEGRAL, THE FUNCTION ITSELF? YESSSS.
OKAY, BUT THE DERIVATIVE AND INTEGRAL DONT UMMM CANCEL OUT TILL THE dx/dy/dt IS SAME WITH DERIVATIVE AND INTEGRATION!
Okay, I somehow solved the question B) *pat pat*
Can someone tell me how do i write this down on my paper??
