Homework Statement


f(x)= ∫dt/(2 + sin t)
A and B are the lower and upper limits of the integral, respectively, where A is 0, and B is ln x.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


g(x)= ln x
f(g(x))= ∫1/(2+sin t) dt, with a= 0 and b=g(x)
f'(x)= d/dx ∫1/2+sin x, with a=0, and b=x

Can't figure out what to do next, and pretty sure what I've done so far is wrong^. Any help is appreciated, thanks so much!

Here's an easy way to remember it, and you can spend time proving it if you want to :

$$\frac{d}{dx} \int_{a(x)}^{b(x)} f(t) dt = f(b(x))(b'(x)) - f(a(x))(a'(x))$$

f'(x)= d/dx ∫1/2+sin x, with a=0, and b=x

The original problem was to find f'(x), right? From *, you have f(g(x)). Now apply chain rule and FTOC to find (f(g(x)))' = d (f(g(x)))/dx.
 
Thank you both!

Using Zondrina's equation, I get:

{[(1)/(2+sin(ln x))] * (1/x)}

Is this correct?

Try what I suggested - what do you get?
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
