SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between integrability and differentiability in calculus, specifically referencing the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The theorem states that for a suitable function f, the derivative of the integral from a to x is equal to f(x), expressed mathematically as \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t) dt = f(x). An example problem provided is \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^{x^2} f(t) dt = ?. The conversation highlights the foundational concepts of Newton and Leibniz in the development of calculus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • Basic knowledge of integrals and derivatives
  • Familiarity with Newtonian calculus concepts
  • Ability to solve calculus problems involving differentiation and integration
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in detail

i was told that i would be asked a question that deals with
integrability and the link between the differentiability operation
and the integration operation(the basic laws of Newton calculus)

what question he can give that combines this things??
can you give an example??

i can't find a question like this

Sounds like he might be thinking of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which says in part for a suitable function f, that
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t) dt = f(x)[/tex]

Do a search on "fundamental theorem of calculus" and you should get some ideas.

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\int_a^{x^2} f(t) dt = ?[/tex]
Here's one fairly simple problem

Regarding "Newton calculus" both Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz are credited about equally with the development of calculus.
