In summary, the general Leibniz' formula states that the derivative of an integral with respect to the upper limit is equal to the derivative of the upper limit multiplied by the function evaluated at the upper limit, minus the derivative of the lower limit multiplied by the function evaluated at the lower limit, plus the integral of the partial derivative of the function with respect to x evaluated at all points between the upper and lower limits. This can be applied using the chain rule by denoting the upper limit as y(x) and finding the derivative of F with respect to y, multiplied by the derivative of y with respect to x.

What you should do is to use the chain rule. Denote the upper limit of the integral (the limit which itself is an integral) as y(x). Then you should be able to see that dF/dx = dF/dy dy/dx.

The general Leibniz' formula is
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\int_{\alpha(x)}^{\beta(x)} F(x,t)dt= \frac{d\beta(x)}{dx}F(x,\beta(x))- \frac{d\alpha(x)}{dx}F(x,\alpha(x))+ \int_{\alpha(x)}^{\beta(x)}\frac{\partial F(x,t)}{\partial x} dt[/tex]
 

1. What is an integral?

An integral is a mathematical concept that represents the area under a curve on a graph. It is also used to calculate the exact value of a quantity, such as the distance traveled by an object.

2. How is an integral calculated?

An integral is calculated using a process called integration, which involves finding the antiderivative of a function and evaluating it at specific values. This process can be done manually or with the help of software or a calculator.

3. What is a terminal?

A terminal is a command line interface used to interact with a computer's operating system. It allows users to execute commands, navigate through files and folders, and perform various tasks on a computer.

4. How can an integral be used in a terminal?

An integral can be used in a terminal by using a software or programming language that supports mathematical operations, such as Python or MATLAB. Users can write code to calculate integrals and display the results in the terminal.

5. Can integrals be used for practical applications?

Yes, integrals have various practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and more. They can be used to calculate areas, volumes, and other quantities that have real-world significance.
