What is the Leibniz Rule for Integrals?

In summary, the Leibniz Rule can be used to find the derivative of a function F(x) that involves an integral with variable limits. By using the formula for the variable limits form, we can find dF(x)/dx for the given function F(x) = xx2∫(3t2 - 4/(1-t))dt.

For the function F(x) = xx2∫(3t2 - 4/(1-t))dt find dF(x)/dx

Attempt:

= d/dx [t3 - 4lnl 1-t l)]lx2x
= d/dx [x6 + 4lnl 1-x2 l - x3 - 4lnl 1-x l
= 6x5 - 8x/l1-x2l - 3x2 + 4/l1-xl

This is what I got. I was hoping to hear feedback on whether or not it's correct. I'm also wondering if there's any other method to solve this problem. Thanks!

1. What is the derivative of an integral?

The derivative of an integral is the rate of change of the integral with respect to its variable. It measures how much the integral changes as the variable changes.

2. How is the derivative of an integral calculated?

The derivative of an integral is calculated using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This states that the derivative of the integral of a function is equal to the original function.

3. Why is the derivative of an integral important?

The derivative of an integral is important in many areas of science and mathematics. It allows us to find the rate of change of a quantity over time, which is essential in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.

4. Can the derivative of an integral be negative?

Yes, the derivative of an integral can be negative. This means that the integral is decreasing as the variable increases, indicating a negative rate of change.

5. Are there any rules for finding the derivative of an integral?

Yes, there are several rules for finding the derivative of an integral, such as the Power Rule, Product Rule, and Chain Rule. These rules can be applied to find the derivative of more complex integrals.
