First, let's multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction in the limit by $$\frac{1}{x^{4}$$}.

$lim_{xrightarrow infty $}$$\frac{1-x^4$$}{x^2$$-4x^$4$}$=lim_{xrightarrow infty $}$$\frac{(frac{1}{x^4$$}$)(1-x^4$$)}{$\frac{1}{x^{4}$$$}(x^2$$-4x^4$)}

$=lim_{xrightarrow infty $}$$\frac{frac{1}{x^4$$}$-1}{$\frac{1}{x^2$}$-4}

As becomes increasingly large the $$\frac{1}{x^{4}$$} $and$\frac{1}{x^{2}$$} ^{} terms will tend to zero. This leaves us with the limit of $\frac{1}{4}$ .

$lim_{xrightarrow infty }$$\frac{-1}{-4}$=\frac{1}{4}$.

The answer is $\frac{1}{4}$.

We are asked to find , which means that we will need to find such that . The given information tells us that , which means that . Thus, we will substitute 3 into the equation.

g'(f(3))cdot f'(3)=1

The given information tells us that.

The equation then becomes g'(4)cdot (-2)=1.

We can now solve for .

The fundamental theorem of calculus is, $\int_${a}^{b}$ f(x)\ dx=F(b)-F(a)$ , now lets apply this to our situation.

$\int_${0}^{1}$ $x^3$+2x+9\ dx$

We can use the inverse power rule to solve the integral, which is $\int $x^n$\ dx $=\frac{x^{n+1}$$}{n+1}+C$ .

$\int_${0}^{1}$ $x^3$+2x+9\ $dx=\frac{x^4$$}{4}$+x^2$+9x $\Big|^${1}$_{0}$$

$=\left[ $$\frac{1^4$$}{4}$+1^2$$+9(1)\right]-\left[$\frac{0^4$$}{4}$+0^2$+9(0) \right ]$

$=\frac{1}{4}$+1+9-0=\frac{41}{4}$$

The next step is to find the difference between the values at each limit of integration, because the Fundamental Theorem states

$\int_${a}^{b}$f(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)$ .

Since denotes the anti-derivative, we have to evaluate the anti-derivative at the two limits of integration, 3 and 6.

To find the anti-derivative, we have to know that in the integral, $\frac{dx}{x}$ is the same as $$\frac{1}{x}$dx$ .

The anti-derivative of the function $\frac{1}{x}$ is , so we must evaluate .

According to rules of logarithms, when subtracting two logs is the same as taking the log of a fraction of those two values:

$ln$\frac{6}{3}$$ .

Use the fundamental theorem of Calculus to evaluate the definite integral

$\int_${\pi/2}^{\pi}$(2cos(x)+1)dx$

Tap to see back →

Here we use the fundamental theorem of Calculus: $\int_${a}^{b}$f(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)$

$F(x)=\int(2cos(x)+1)dx=2sin(x)+x$

Here we do not worry about adding a constant c because we are evaluating a definite integral.

$F(b)=F(\pi)=2sin(\pi)+\pi=0+\pi=\pi$

$F(a)=F($\frac{\pi}{2}$)=2sin($\frac{\pi}{2}$)+\frac{\pi}{2}$= 2+\frac{\pi}{2}$$

$F(b)-F(a)=F(\pi)-F($\frac{\pi}{2}$)=\pi-(2+\frac{\pi}{2}$)=\frac{\pi}{2}$-2$

Note that we were not asked to evaluate $$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_$1^x$$$\frac{2}{t^2$}$dt$ , so you should not attempt to use part one of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This would give us the incorrect answer of .

Evaluate the indefinite integral:

$\int_$0^{$\frac{\pi}${4}$} $\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx$

Tap to see back →

$\int_$0^{$\frac{\pi}${4}$} $\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx$

First compute the indefinite integral:

$\int $\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx$

Note that the is the derivative of $\tan(x)$ . So proceed by defining a new variable:

$u = \tan(x) : : : : :\rightarrow : : : : $:du=\sec^2$(x)dx$

Now the the integral can be written in terms of

$\int $\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx=\int udu $=\frac{1}{2}$u^2$ $+C=\frac{1}{2}$\tan^2$(x)+C$

Therefore:

$\int $\tan(x)\sec^2$$(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}$\tan^2$(x)+C$

When we go to compute the indefinite integral the constant of integration will be ignored since it will be subtracted out when we evaluate.

We can precede by either going back to the original variable and evaluate over the original limits of integration, or we can find new limits of integration corresponding to the new variable . Let's look at both equivalent methods:

Solution 1)

$\int_$0^{$\frac{\pi}$${4}$}\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx=\left[ $$\frac{1}{2}$\tan^2$(x)\right ]_${x=0}^{x=\frac{\pi}${4}$}: : =: : : : $$\frac{1}{2}$\tan^2$\left($\frac{\pi}{4}\right) $-$\frac{1}{2}$\tan^2$\left(0\right)$

$\tan(0)=0$ so the last term vanishes. The first term reduces to $\frac{1}{2}$ since the tangent function is equal to .

$\int_$o^{$\frac{\pi}$${4}$}\tan(x)\sec^2$(x)dx=\frac{1}{2}$$

Solution 2)

We could have also solved without converting back to the original variable. Instead, we could just change the limits of integration. Use the definition assigned to the variable , which was $u = \tan(x)$ and then use this to find which value takes on when (lower limit) and when $x =\frac{\pi}{4}$$ (upper limit).

$x = 0: : : : : : :\rightarrow: : : : :u = \tan(0)=0$

$x=\frac{\pi}{4}$: : : : :\rightarrow : : : : :u=tan\left($\frac{\pi}{4}\right )=1$

$\int_$0^1$ udu $=\left[$\frac{1}{2}$u^2$ \right ]_${u=0}^{u=1}$ =\frac{1}{2}$$

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${0}^{x^2}$ sin(t)dt=?$

Derivatives and anti derivatives annihilate each other. Therefore, the derivative of an anti derivative is simply the function in the integral with the limits substituted in multiplied by the derivative of each limit. Also, be careful that the units will match the outermost units (which comes from the derivative).

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${0}^{x^2}$ sin(t)dt= $sin(x^2$$)$\frac{d}{dx}$(x^{2}$)-sin(0)$\frac{d}{dx}$(0)'$

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${x}^{x^3}$$$\frac{1}{t^2$+1}$dt=?$

Tap to see back →

This is a Fundamental Theorem of Calculus problem. Since a derivative and anti-derivative cancel each other out, we simply have to plug the limits into our function (with the outside variable). Then, we multiply each by the derivative of the bound:

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${x}^{x^3}$$$\frac{1}{t^2$$+1}$dt=\frac{1}{{(x^3$$)}$^2$$+1}$\frac{d}{dx}$(x^3$$)-$\frac{1}{{(x)}$^2$+1}$\frac{d}{dx}$(x)$

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${0}^{sinx}$$(1-t^2$)dt=?$

Tap to see back →

Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the derivative of an anti-derivative simply gives us the function with the limits plugged in multiplied by the derivative of the respective bounds:

$$\frac{d}{dx}$\int_${0}^{sinx}$$(1-t^2$$)dt=(1-sin^2x$$)$\frac{d}{dx}$(sinx)-(1-0^2$)$\frac{d}{dx}$(0)$

In the last step, we made use of the following trigonometric identity:

Evaluate the following indefinite integral:

Recall that we can split subtraction and addition within integrals into separate integrals. This means that we can look at our problem in two steps.

Recall that we can integrate any exponential term by adding 1 to the exponent and dividing by the new exponent.

So,

$\int $4t^3dt$$=\frac{4t^{3+1}$$$}{4}=t^4$+c$

Next, recall that the integral of sine is negative cosine. However, we already have a negative sine, so we should get positive cosine.

$\int -6sin(t)dt=6cos(t)+c$

Now, we can combine our two halves to get our final answer.

Notice that we only have one "c" because c is just a constant, not a variable.

Second, The integral of any exponential term can be found by increasing the exponent by 1 and then dividing by the new number.

Third, the integral of cosine is simply positive sine.

Put all this together to get:

Now, we need to evaluate our answer by finding the difference between the limits of integration.

First, let's see what we get when we plug in 0

Next, let's use 5

Next, find the difference of F(5)-F(0)

So our answer is: -2388.89.
