The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
1
Use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of the function.
R(y) = Z 2t3sin(t) dt
y
Let’s remind ourselves of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1:
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1 If f is continuous on [a;b], then the
function g defined by
g(x) = Z xf(t) dt a ≤ x ≤ b
a
is continuous on [a;b] and differentiable on (a;b) and g′(x) = f(x).
First, we’ll use properties of the definite integral to make the integral match the form in the Fundamental
Theorem.
Z 2t3sin(t) dt = −Z y t3sin(t) dt
y 2
so we have
R(y) = −Z yt3sin(t) dt
2
The minus sign is just a constant factor, so
d [R(y)] = −1· d Z yt3sin(t) dt
dy dy 2
R′(y) = −1·y3sin(y)
Thus,
R′(y) = −y3sin(y)
