The problem in the image is:

Evaluate the integral f(x)=0xet2dtf(x) = \int_0^x e^{t^2} dt. What is f(x)f'(x)?

The options are:

  1. 2xex22x e^{x^2}
  2. ex2e^{x^2}
  3. exe^{x}
  4. ex+1e^{x+1}

Solution:

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, we know that if:

F(x)=axf(t)dtF(x) = \int_a^x f(t) \, dt

Then:

F(x)=f(x)F'(x) = f(x)

In this case, the integral given is:

f(x)=0xet2dtf(x) = \int_0^x e^{t^2} dt

By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the derivative of this function is simply:

f(x)=ex2f'(x) = e^{x^2}

Thus, the correct answer is option 2. ex2e^{x^2}.

  2. How do you differentiate a function defined as an integral?
  3. What are the applications of the function et2e^{t^2} in real-world problems?
  4. How does the chain rule apply in cases where the upper limit of an integral is a function of xx?
  5. Can integrals like 0xet2dt\int_0^x e^{t^2} dt be evaluated without numerical methods?

Tip:

When differentiating integrals where the upper limit is a function of xx, always apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus directly.
