Math Problem Statement

give me the right answer

Given g(t) = ∫₀ᵗ √(x + x⁴) dx, find g'(t).

Solution

To solve the problem:

We are given the function:

g(t)=0tx+x4dxg(t) = \int_0^t \sqrt{x + x^4} \, dx

We need to find g(t)g'(t). According to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, if:

G(t)=atf(x)dx,G(t) = \int_a^t f(x) \, dx,

then:

G(t)=f(t).G'(t) = f(t).

For our problem, f(x)=x+x4f(x) = \sqrt{x + x^4}. Thus, g(t)=t+t4g'(t) = \sqrt{t + t^4}.

Correct answer:

g(t)=t+t4.g'(t) = \sqrt{t + t^4}.

Let me know if you'd like further explanation!


Here are 5 questions that expand on this topic:

  1. What is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and how does it apply to definite integrals?
  2. How would g(t)g'(t) change if the limits of integration were from tt to a constant?
  3. What happens if the integrand x+x4\sqrt{x + x^4} changes to include a trigonometric function, e.g., x+x4+sinx\sqrt{x + x^4 + \sin x}?
  4. Can we directly compute g(t)g(t) without differentiating it?
  5. How do you handle problems where the upper limit is itself a function of tt?

Tip:

Always use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus carefully, ensuring you evaluate the derivative correctly in terms of the variable in the integrand and limits.
