In summary, the conversation discusses finding the derivative of the function F with respect to the variable a. It is mentioned that the Leibnitz rule may only be applicable when the integration limits do not depend on a, but there is a question about what happens when one of the limits is a function of a. The conversation concludes with the discovery that Leibnitz's Rule can also cover cases where both limits depend on the variable of differentiation.

Does anybody know, how to find the derivative of the F with respect to a? As far as I know the Leibnitz rule is only applicable, when the integration limits do not depend a. But what happens, when one of the limits is a function of a?

[tex]F(a,x)=\int ^{c+h(a)}_{c} f[g(a,x)] dx[/tex]

Thank you so much!

Ups, the books I looked at didn't cover this case.
Thank you very much!
 

What is the Extension Leibnitz Rule?

The Extension Leibnitz Rule, also known as the Leibnitz Integral Rule, is a mathematical formula used to find the derivative of an integral that depends on a parameter. It allows us to differentiate under the integral sign, which can be useful in solving complicated integration problems.

What is the formula for the Extension Leibnitz Rule?

The formula for the Extension Leibnitz Rule is d/dx ∫ab f(x,t) dt = f(x,b) - f(x,a) + ∫ab ∂f(x,t)/∂x dt, where f(x,t) is the function being integrated and x is the variable of differentiation.

When is the Extension Leibnitz Rule used?

The Extension Leibnitz Rule is used when we need to find the derivative of an integral that contains a variable in both the integrand and the limits of integration. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to solve problems involving continuous systems.

What are the assumptions made in using the Extension Leibnitz Rule?

The Extension Leibnitz Rule assumes that the function being integrated is continuous and that its derivative with respect to the variable of differentiation exists and is also continuous. Additionally, the limits of integration must not depend on the variable of differentiation.

What are some examples of using the Extension Leibnitz Rule?

One example is using the rule to find the derivative of the function ∫ax sin(t)/t dt. Another example is using the rule to solve differential equations, such as in the case of finding the derivative of the function ∫ax etx f(t) dt to solve the differential equation f'(t) = tf(t).
