Math Problem Statement

Use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to construct an antiderivative to 𝑏(π‘₯) = √cos(7π‘₯ + 2) that contains the point (12,7)

Solution

To find an antiderivative of b(x)=cos⁑(7x+2)b(x) = \sqrt{\cos(7x + 2)} using the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and ensure it passes through the point (12,7)(12,7), we proceed as follows:

  1. Antiderivative Construction:
    The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that if F(x)F(x) is defined as: F(x)=∫axb(t) dt+C,F(x) = \int_{a}^{x} b(t) \, dt + C, then Fβ€²(x)=b(x)F'(x) = b(x). Here, b(x)=cos⁑(7x+2)b(x) = \sqrt{\cos(7x + 2)}, and we need to find an antiderivative that passes through the point (12,7)(12,7).

  2. Set Up the Antiderivative:
    We construct F(x)F(x) as: F(x)=∫axcos⁑(7t+2) dt+C.F(x) = \int_{a}^{x} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt + C. We will choose a=0a = 0 for simplicity, making the antiderivative: F(x)=∫0xcos⁑(7t+2) dt+C.F(x) = \int_{0}^{x} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt + C.

  3. Determine the Constant CC:
    To find CC, we use the given point (12,7)(12, 7). This means: F(12)=7.F(12) = 7. Thus, we need to solve: ∫012cos⁑(7t+2) dt+C=7.\int_{0}^{12} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt + C = 7. Let I=∫012cos⁑(7t+2) dtI = \int_{0}^{12} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt, then: I+C=7β€…β€ŠβŸΉβ€…β€ŠC=7βˆ’I.I + C = 7 \implies C = 7 - I.

  4. Final Antiderivative Expression:
    The antiderivative is: F(x)=∫0xcos⁑(7t+2) dt+(7βˆ’I),F(x) = \int_{0}^{x} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt + (7 - I), where II is the definite integral ∫012cos⁑(7t+2) dt\int_{0}^{12} \sqrt{\cos(7t + 2)} \, dt.

This expression provides an antiderivative that contains the point (12,7)(12, 7).
