1 00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:08,900 PROFESSOR: Welcome back to recitation. 2 00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:11,090 In this video segment, what I'd like us to do 3 00:00:11,090 --> 00:00:13,260 is work on this following problem. 4 00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:17,941 Find d/dx of the integral from 0 to x squared, cosine t dt. 5 00:00:17,941 --> 00:00:19,940 I'm going to give you a moment to think about it 6 00:00:19,940 --> 00:00:21,981 and then I'll come back and show you how I do it. 7 00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:31,660 OK, welcome back. 8 00:00:31,660 --> 00:00:34,240 Hopefully you were able to make some headway on this. 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,740 Let's look at the problem and see how we would break it down. 10 00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:39,990 Well we know from the fundamental theorem of calculus 11 00:00:39,990 --> 00:00:42,540 that you saw in the lecture, that if up here 12 00:00:42,540 --> 00:00:44,024 instead of x squared we had an x, 13 00:00:44,024 --> 00:00:45,690 then the problem would be easy to solve. 14 00:00:45,690 --> 00:00:48,470 We'd just use the fundamental theorem of calculus, the answer 15 00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:50,547 would be cosine x. 16 00:00:50,547 --> 00:00:52,880 But of course, we don't have an x, we have an x squared. 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,490 That's why I gave you this problem. 18 00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:57,270 And we need to figure out how to solve this problem when 19 00:00:57,270 --> 00:01:00,090 there's a different function up here besides just x. 20 00:01:00,090 --> 00:01:01,780 What we're going to use is we're going 21 00:01:01,780 --> 00:01:03,960 to combine the fundamental theorem of calculus 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,470 and the chain rule. 23 00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:08,090 So, let's start off with how we would do this 24 00:01:08,090 --> 00:01:11,790 if it were the integral from 0 to x, as I mentioned. 25 00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:17,980 So we'll define capital F of x to be 26 00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:21,300 equal to the integral from 0 to x cosine t dt. 27 00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:31,901 And then we know that f prime of x is equal to cosine x. 28 00:01:31,901 --> 00:01:34,400 Now the problem is, we don't just have this, as I mentioned. 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,870 What we actually have-- let me write this down-- 30 00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:41,635 we have F of x squared. 31 00:01:41,635 --> 00:01:43,320 Right? 32 00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:46,350 That's what this-- sorry let me highlight 33 00:01:46,350 --> 00:01:52,680 what I mean-- this boxed thing is F of x squared. 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,100 So we took F of x and we evaluated it at x squared. 35 00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:57,650 That's what we get in the box. 36 00:01:57,650 --> 00:02:01,050 And so if we want to find d/dx of F of x squared, 37 00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:02,760 it really is just the chain rule. 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,670 We really want to think of this as a composition of functions. 39 00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:08,550 The first, the outside function is capital F 40 00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:11,140 and the inside function is x squared. 41 00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:15,220 So just in general, how do we think about the chain rule? 42 00:02:15,220 --> 00:02:17,520 Well remember what we do-- let me 43 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,420 come back here for a second-- remember what 44 00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:22,200 we do is we take the derivative of the outside function, 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,491 we evaluate it at the inside function 46 00:02:24,491 --> 00:02:26,740 and then we take the derivative of the inside function 47 00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:29,060 and we multiply those two together. 48 00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:31,440 So all I have to do is figure out, 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,160 what is the following thing? 50 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:40,300 We know d/dx the quantity F of x squared 51 00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:44,570 should be equal to F prime evaluated 52 00:02:44,570 --> 00:02:47,544 at x squared times 2x. 53 00:02:47,544 --> 00:02:49,210 That's just what we said earlier, right? 54 00:02:49,210 --> 00:02:52,050 It's the derivative of F evaluated 55 00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:55,920 at x squared times the derivative of x squared. 56 00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:58,180 So now I just have to figure out what this is. 57 00:02:58,180 --> 00:03:00,030 Well let's go back to the other side 58 00:03:00,030 --> 00:03:02,700 and see what we wrote that F prime was. 59 00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:08,310 If we come over here, we see F prime at x is just cosine x. 60 00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:13,665 So F prime at x squared is going to be this function evaluated 61 00:03:13,665 --> 00:03:15,090 at x squared. 62 00:03:15,090 --> 00:03:17,730 That's just cosine of x squared. 63 00:03:17,730 --> 00:03:24,830 So we see over here, we just get cosine x squared times 2x. 64 00:03:24,830 --> 00:03:27,070 And because I'm a mathematician, I 65 00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:29,860 want to write the 2x in front before I finish. 66 00:03:29,860 --> 00:03:31,670 Because otherwise I get confused. 67 00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:35,830 So the answer here is just 2x times cosine x squared. 68 00:03:35,830 --> 00:03:37,830 Now I want to point out really what we did here. 69 00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:39,980 This is the answer to this particular problem, 70 00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:43,070 but we can now solve problems in general, 71 00:03:43,070 --> 00:03:46,595 when I put any function up here, any function of x up here. 72 00:03:46,595 --> 00:03:47,660 Right? 73 00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,130 Ultimately, all I did was I used the fundamental theorem 74 00:03:50,130 --> 00:03:52,100 of calculus and the chain rule. 75 00:03:52,100 --> 00:03:54,100 So any function I put up here, I can 76 00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,260 do exactly the same process. 77 00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:58,945 I would define F of x to be this type of thing, 78 00:03:58,945 --> 00:04:01,195 the way we would define it for the fundamental theorem 79 00:04:01,195 --> 00:04:02,440 of calculus. 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,550 I would know what F prime of x was. 81 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:07,310 And then I would have to evaluate F 82 00:04:07,310 --> 00:04:11,186 at a, at this function up here, whatever I put up there. 83 00:04:11,186 --> 00:04:12,560 So in this case it was x squared. 84 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,200 I could have made it natural log x. 85 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,062 I could've made it some big polynomial or something more 86 00:04:17,062 --> 00:04:17,562 complicated. 87 00:04:17,562 --> 00:04:19,580 Right? 88 00:04:19,580 --> 00:04:22,790 And once I do that, I just follow this same process. 89 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:24,505 Now, instead of the x squared here 90 00:04:24,505 --> 00:04:25,880 I would have that other function. 91 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,920 So I'd evaluate capital F at whatever function 92 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,960 that is times the derivative of that function. 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,540 It's exactly the same process. 94 00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:40,860 So I want to point out that this is a bigger situation than I 95 00:04:40,860 --> 00:04:43,070 had before, or a bigger situation than just 96 00:04:43,070 --> 00:04:45,220 this little problem. 97 00:04:45,220 --> 00:04:46,762 So, just so you understand that. 98 00:04:46,762 --> 00:04:48,570 OK? 99 00:04:48,570 --> 00:04:50,920 So again, I just want to say one more time. 100 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Now you know how to solve problems 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,540 where you have any other function of x up here 102 00:04:54,540 --> 00:04:56,190 and you want to take the derivative 103 00:04:56,190 --> 00:04:58,830 of this kind of expression of an integral 104 00:04:58,830 --> 00:05:01,000 with another function of x up there. 105 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,203 All right, I think I'll stop there.
