Math Problem Statement

Use part one of the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the derivative of the function.

g(s) =

s

(t − t7)8 dt

7

g ′(s)

=

Solution

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1, states:

ddxaxf(t)dt=f(x),\frac{d}{dx} \int_a^x f(t) \, dt = f(x),

provided that f(t)f(t) is continuous on the interval [a,x][a, x].

Problem:

You are tasked with finding the derivative of:

g(s)=7s(tt7)8dt.g(s) = \int_7^s (t - t^7)^8 \, dt.

Solution:

  1. Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Part 1). Since the upper limit of the integral is ss, the derivative of g(s)g(s) is simply the integrand f(t)=(tt7)8f(t) = (t - t^7)^8, evaluated at t=st = s:

    g(s)=((tt7)8t=s.g'(s) = \big( (t - t^7)^8 \big|_{t = s}.

  2. Substitute t=st = s into the integrand:

    g(s)=(ss7)8.g'(s) = (s - s^7)^8.

Final Answer:

g(s)=(ss7)8.g'(s) = (s - s^7)^8.

Here are 5 questions to expand on this concept:

  1. How does the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1 differ from Part 2?
  2. What happens if the bounds of integration depend on ss in a more complex way?
  3. Can you explain the conditions under which the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus applies?
  4. How does this theorem relate to finding areas under curves?
  5. What modifications would be required if the lower limit of the integral was ss instead?

Tip: When differentiating an integral with variable bounds, always check if the bounds depend on the variable directly or indirectly!
