Suppose in general a pair of functions

In summary, we have two functions, F(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}e^{xt^2} dt and G(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}\(t^2e^{xt^2} dt, and we need to prove that H(\frac{\pi}{4}) = e^\frac{\pi}{8}/\sqrt{2}, where H(x) = G(x) - F'(x). There may have been some confusion regarding the integrals, and to find the derivative of F(x), we can use Leibniz' formula.

Suppose in general that we have two functions

[tex]

F(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}e^{xt^2} dt
[/tex]
[tex]
G(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}\(t^2e^{xt^2} dt
[/tex]
[tex]
H(x) = G(x) - F'(x)
[/tex]

Where, I need to prove that
[tex]
H(\frac{\pi}{4}) = e^\frac{\pi}{8}/\sqrt{2}
[/tex]

Okay, so far I have computed the integrals of both of these functions, where I am confused is when computing [tex] F'(x) [/tex] do I differentiate the integrand with respect to x only, and then simply subtract the two functions. Sorry for the edit, I left off the [tex] dt [/tex] for both integrals. Any help would be appreciated!

These integrals are a bit confusing. Are they supposed to be, for example:
[tex]F(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}e^{xt^2} dt[/tex]

Or something different?

Yes I corrected the original post, sorry I left off the [tex] dt [/tex] for both integrals.

To find the derivative, with respect to x, of [itex]F(x)= \int_{0}^{cos x}e^{xt^2}dt [/itex], use "LaGrange's Formula" [tex]\frac{d\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(x,t)dt}{dx}= \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} \frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x} dt+ F(b(x))\frac{db}{dx}- F(a(x)\frac{da}{dx}[/itex].

You did mean Leibniz' formula, HallsofIvy?

I am always making that mistake. Do you suppose I could convince them to swap names?
 

FAQ: Suppose in general a pair of functions

1. What does "Suppose in general a pair of functions" mean?

"Suppose in general a pair of functions" means that we are considering two functions that are related or connected in some way. These functions can be of any type, such as linear, quadratic, exponential, etc., and may have different variables or inputs.

2. How do I determine if a pair of functions are inverse of each other?

To determine if two functions are inverse of each other, you can follow the steps of finding the inverse function of a given function. This involves switching the x and y variables, solving for y, and checking if the resulting function is the same as the original function. If they are the same, then the functions are inverses of each other.

3. Can a pair of functions have multiple points of intersection?

Yes, a pair of functions can have multiple points of intersection. This means that there are multiple values of x that satisfy both functions at the same time. These points of intersection can be found by solving the equations simultaneously.

4. What is the difference between a pair of linear functions and a pair of non-linear functions?

The main difference between a pair of linear functions and a pair of non-linear functions is that linear functions have a constant rate of change, while non-linear functions have a varying rate of change. This means that linear functions have a constant slope, while non-linear functions have a changing slope.

5. How can I use a pair of functions to model a real-world situation?

A pair of functions can be used to model a real-world situation by representing the variables and their relationship in the situation. For example, if the situation involves the relationship between time and distance, one function can represent the time variable and the other can represent the distance variable. By manipulating the functions and their equations, we can make predictions and analyze the situation.
