Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus problems help

In summary: There is a simple substitution you can make, and then you should be able to evaluate the integral directly.In summary, the conversation discusses three problems which involve finding the derivative using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The first problem involves finding the derivative of g(x) using the limits [8x to 4x] and [4x to 8x]. The second problem, h(x), involves a definite integral with limits from sin(x) to -3. The third problem, F(x), involves a definite integral with limits from 1 to the square root of 3. The conversation also discusses the use of substitution to simplify the integration process.

Are you sure you mean g(x) = ∫[8x to 4x] (u+7)/(u-4) dx in A)? As written, this means
[tex] g(x) = \int_{8x}^{4x} \frac{u+7}{u-4} \, du .[/tex] (Where you wrote 'dx' I assume you mean 'du'.) The point is: what are the limits, and where they go? If you actually want [tex] g(x) = \int_{4x}^{8x} \frac{u+7}{u-4} \, du, [/tex] you would need to write
∫[4x to 8x] (u+7)/(u-4) du. The answers for g'(x) are different in these two cases. Which one do you really mean?

It's the second one that you stated.
here is it:

Is this problem B?
You wrote "h(x) = ∫[sin(x) to -3] (cos(t^3)+t)dt"

From your response to Ray, I think this is the function.

$$ h(x) = \int_{-3}^{sin(x)}(cos(t^3) + t)dt$$

Can you work the problem below? This is a little easier, and if you can work it, the one above is only a little harder.
$$ h(x) = \int_{-3}^x(cos(t^3) + t)dt$$

Let me ask again, what does the first part of the Fundamental Thm. of Calculus say?For problem C you wrote "F(x) = ∫[ 1 to √3] s^3/(3+5s^4) dx"

I can only guess at what you meant, which might be this:
$$ F(x) = \int_1^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{s^3}{3 + 5s^4} ds$$

If this is the problem, it's very easy.
