Analysis Problem (finding a derivative)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the derivative of the function f(x, y) defined as f(x, y) = ∫sin(xy)cos(xy) h(t) dt, where h is a continuous function. The derivative f' is expressed in terms of partial derivatives with respect to x and y, resulting in f' = [-y(sin(xy)h(cos(xy)) + cos(xy)h(sin(xy))), -x(sin(xy)h(cos(xy)) + cos(xy)h(sin(xy)))]. The continuity of h ensures the existence of its antiderivative H, which is utilized in the derivative calculation. The final expression for f' is confirmed as correct by participants in the discussion.

Suppose that h : [itex]\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}[/itex] is continuous.
Calculate f', if f : [itex]\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}[/itex] is the function:

[tex]f(x, y) = \int _{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt[/tex]

I have:

[tex]f' = \left [D_1f(x, y) \ \ \ \ D_2f(x, y)\right ] = \left [\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right ][/tex]

[tex]= \left [\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\int_{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial}{\partial y}\int_{\sin (xy)} ^{\cos (xy)} h(t)dt\right ][/tex]

Let H be the antiderivative of h (can I assume it exists from the continuity of h? I would think so), then:

[tex]f' = \left [\frac{\partial}{\partial x}H(\cos xy) - H(\sin xy) \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial}{\partial y}H(\cos xy) - H(\sin xy)\right ][/tex]

[tex]f' = -\left [y(\sin (xy)h(\cos (xy)) + \cos (xy)h(\sin (xy))) \ \ \ \ x(\sin (xy)h(\cos (xy)) + \cos (xy)h(\sin (xy)))\right ][/tex]

Is this right? Thanks.
