  1.  

cos⁡ ⁣( ddx∫abf(x) dx)= ?\cos\!\Big(\,\frac{d}{dx}\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\,dx\Big)=\ ?

  1.  

ddx ∫01x dt= ?\frac{d}{dx}\,\int_{0}^{1} x\,dt=\ ?

 

Solutions

1) ee is a constant, not exe^{x}.

ddx(e)=0.\frac{d}{dx}(e)=0.

 

2) A definite integral with fixed bounds is a constant.

∫01x dx=12⇒ddx(12)=0.\int_{0}^{1} x\,dx=\tfrac12 \quad\Rightarrow\quad \frac{d}{dx}(\tfrac12)=0.

 

3) Inside the cosine, ddx∫abf(x) dx=0\dfrac{d}{dx}\int_{a}^{b} f(x)\,dx=0.

cos⁡(0)=1.\cos(0)=1.

 

4) Here the integral is with respect to tt, so xx is a constant during the integration.

∫01x dt=x ⁣∫01dt=x⇒ddx(x)=1.\int_{0}^{1} x\,dt = x\!\int_{0}^{1} dt = x \quad\Rightarrow\quad \frac{d}{dx}(x)=1.
