How do you find the derivative of this integral?

In summary, we are discussing finding the derivative of a given integral, specifically \int_{0}^{x} [t \int_{1}^{t} f(u)du] dt, and applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. We have determined that the derivative is x \int_{1}^{x} f(u)du.

[tex]\int_{0}^{x} [t \int_{1}^{t} f(u)du] dt[/tex]

I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance

1.1-st is to write the formula properly.

Did u mean

[tex] \frac{d}{dx}\{\int_{0}^{x} t[\int_{1}^{t} f(u)du] dt\} [/tex]

??

Yeah, that's it, but with no d/dx in the beginning. Sorry, I'm new to this latex stuff.

[tex] \int_{0}^{x} [t \int_{1}^{t} f(u)du] dt [/tex]

Okay,how about applying some Fundamental Theorem of calculus??

Daniel.

PS.Post your work.

Your TITLE is "How do you find the derivative of this integral". That was why dextercioby put in the "d/dx".

Fundamental theorem of calculus! [tex]\frac{d}{dx}\int_a^xF(t)dt= F(x)[/tex].

Here, F(t) is [tex]t \int_{1}^{t} f(u)du] dt [/tex] so the derivative is
[tex]x\int_1^xf(u)du[/tex]
 

1. What is a derivative?

A derivative is a mathematical concept that represents the rate of change of a function at a specific point. It is calculated by finding the slope of the tangent line to the curve at that point.

2. Why do we need to find the derivative of an integral?

Finding the derivative of an integral allows us to determine the original function that was integrated. It also helps us to analyze the behavior of the function and make predictions about its future values.

3. What is the process for finding the derivative of an integral?

The process for finding the derivative of an integral is known as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It involves taking the derivative of the original function and evaluating it at the upper and lower limits of integration.

4. Can we always find the derivative of an integral?

No, not all integrals have a known derivative. Some integrals may require advanced techniques such as substitution or integration by parts to find the derivative.

5. How do we know if we have found the correct derivative of an integral?

We can verify the correctness of our derivative by taking the integral of the derivative and comparing it to the original function. If the two are equal, then we have found the correct derivative.
