Math Problem Statement

Find dy/dx in Exercises 45–56. 45. y = ∫(from 0 to x) sqrt(1 + t^2) dt 46. y = ∫(from 1 to x) (1/t) dt, x > 0

Solution

To solve the given problems, we need to find the derivatives dydx\frac{dy}{dx} for the functions yy defined by the integrals in the exercises. These problems leverage the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that:

ddxaxf(t)dt=f(x),\frac{d}{dx} \int_a^x f(t) \, dt = f(x), where f(t)f(t) is continuous over the interval of integration.


45. y=0x1+t2dty = \int_0^x \sqrt{1 + t^2} \, dt

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

dydx=1+x2.\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{1 + x^2}.


46. y=1x1tdt,x>0y = \int_1^x \frac{1}{t} \, dt, \quad x > 0

Again, applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

dydx=1x.\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x}.


Final Answers:

  1. For #45\#45, dydx=1+x2\frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{1 + x^2}.
  2. For #46\#46, dydx=1x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{x}, valid for x>0x > 0.
