Challenging integrals and derivatives to try

In summary, challenging integrals and derivatives are difficult mathematical problems that involve finding the area under a curve or the rate of change of a function. They have many real-world applications and require advanced techniques and a deep understanding of calculus. Some strategies for solving them include using integration and differentiation techniques. To improve skills in solving these problems, practice and seeking out resources can be helpful. While software and calculators can be used to solve them, understanding the concepts and techniques is important for fully comprehending the problem and its applications.

here's some to try (i'll have answers either on thursday or tuesday):

f(x)= sin(x^(x^1/2) + (pi*log x)), x>0
f(x)= log(log(log(x^2 + 16))), x>0
f(x)= integral (from 0 to x) of exp((x-y)^1/2) dx

One presumes you want the derivatives of the first two (not hard just tedious) and to do the integral in the third (shame, if you wanted the derivative that was quite easy).

Yeah, quiet easy :)
They are good practive if you're new to calculus.

It seems to be hard
