Question: How to Solve an Integration Problem with Multiple Variables?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving the integral F(x) = ∫ from x to 1 (3t³ - x²t) dt and calculating its derivative F'(x). The correct answer is confirmed as F'(x) = x³ + x. The solution involves performing the t-integration, yielding (3/4)t⁴ - (1/2)x²t², and evaluating it between the limits t = x and t = 1 before differentiating. The process is clarified as simpler than initially perceived.

Homework Statement


Let
F(x) = integral from x to 1 ( [tex]3t^3 - x^2 t ) dt[/tex]

1. Calculate F'(x)

The Attempt at a Solution



I know the answer is

x^3 + x.

However, I am not sure how it is obtained.

I know about implicit differentian, but I have never done implicit integration.

How can you solve the problem?

In this case, you can simply work out the integral.
Do the t-integration, it will give you
[tex]\frac34 t^4 - \frac12 x^2 t^2[/tex]
evaluated between the boundaries t = x and t = 1.
Then differentiate.

Thank you for your answer!

The solution was much easier than I first thought.
