Homework Statement


[tex]F(x)= \int_1^x f(t)dt[/tex]

[tex]f(t)= \int_1^{t^2} \frac{\sqrt{1+u^4}}{u} du[/tex]

Find F''(2)

Homework Equations


Just learned the FTC part 1 and 2.


The Attempt at a Solution


Pretty lost on how to do this...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You can write f(x) in terms of x: [tex]f(x) = \int^{x^2}_1 \frac{\sqrt{1+u^4}}{u} \ du[/tex]. Now what can you say, by the FTC, about how F'(x) is related to f(x)? And how is this related to what you can do with the expression for f(x) given above?
 
F'(x) = f(x) for all x in (1,x^2) ?

And for the other part I am not sure... f(x) would equal F(x^2) - F(1) where F is the the anti derivative.
 
Take the derivative of f(x).
 
Alright I think understand. I will look over it some more. Thanks for your help.
