Suppose that $$F(x)=∫_x^2 f(t)\,dt \\ f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$$ Find $F′′(2)$?
Last edited by a moderator:
The discussion revolves around finding the second derivative \( F''(2) \) of the function defined by the integral \( F(x) = \int_x^2 f(t) \, dt \), where \( f(t) \) is given as \( f(t) = \int_{t^2}^1 \frac{\sqrt{5+u^6}}{u} \, du \). The conversation includes exploration of derivatives, definitions of functions, and the application of calculus principles.
Participants generally agree on the definitions and relationships between the functions but express uncertainty about the correct approach to evaluate \( F''(2) \). There is no consensus on the next steps to take in the calculation.
Participants have not fully resolved the steps needed to substitute values into the expressions for \( F''(x) \) and \( f(t) \). There are also unresolved questions regarding the implications of substituting \( u = x^2 \) into \( s(u) \).

Where did you get the s? ,I'm kinda confused.I like Serena said:Hi Eletronic! Welcome to MHB! ;)
Let's define:
$$\hat f(t)=\int f(t)\,dt, \\s(u)=\sqrt{5+u^6}/u, \\\hat s(u)=\int s(u)\,du$$
Then:
$$F(x)=\int_x^2 f(t)\,dt =\hat f(2)-\hat f(x) \\
F'(x)=-\hat f'(x) = -f(x) \\
F''(x)=-f'(x) \\
f(t)=\int_{t^2}^1 s(u)\, du = \hat s(1) - \hat s(t^2) \\
f'(t)=-\hat s'(t^2)\cdot 2t = -s(t^2)\cdot 2t
$$
So:
$$F''(x)=-s(x^2)\cdot 2x$$
How could we continue? (Wondering)

I like Serena said:The second given integral is $f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$, isn't it?
We're defining $s(u)$ to be the integrand for ease of reference.
