What is the Leibniz Rule for Integrals?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on applying the Leibniz Rule for Integrals to differentiate the function F(x) = xx2∫(3t2 - 4/(1-t))dt. The initial attempt at differentiation was incorrect, as pointed out by other participants. The correct approach involves using the variable limits form of the Leibniz Rule, which can be found in detail on the Wikipedia page for the Leibniz integral rule. Participants emphasized the importance of correctly applying the formula to achieve accurate results.

PREREQUISITES

For the function F(x) = xx2∫(3t2 - 4/(1-t))dt find dF(x)/dx

Attempt:

= d/dx [t3 - 4lnl 1-t l)]lx2x
= d/dx [x6 + 4lnl 1-x2 l - x3 - 4lnl 1-x l
= 6x5 - 8x/l1-x2l - 3x2 + 4/l1-xl

This is what I got. I was hoping to hear feedback on whether or not it's correct. I'm also wondering if there's any other method to solve this problem. Thanks!
