Calculus (Version #2) - 9.1 The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
TLDRThe video script introduces the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which is fundamental to understanding calculus but surprisingly straightforward. The theorem connects differentiation and integration, showing that the derivative of an integral of a function is the original function, minus a constant. The lesson begins with defining a function by an integral where one of the bounds is a variable. It uses an example function to illustrate the process of finding areas under the curve for different intervals and how these areas change with the variable. The script then explains how to find the minimum and maximum of such a function. The main focus is on applying the theorem to find derivatives, using examples that include integrating and then differentiating to return to the original function. It also covers more complex scenarios where the integral has variables for both the lower and upper bounds, demonstrating how to handle such cases by splitting the integral and applying the derivative. The lesson concludes with practice problems to reinforce the concept, aiming to prepare students for more advanced calculus topics and exams.

Q & A
What is the second fundamental theorem of calculus?
-The second fundamental theorem of calculus states that if you have a function defined by an integral from a constant lower boundary to a variable upper boundary, and you take the derivative of that function, you get the original function that was integrated, minus the value of the function at the constant lower boundary.
What does it mean for a function to be defined by an integral?
-A function is defined by an integral when one of the bounds of the integral (either the lower or upper bound) is a variable, and the other is a constant or another function.
What is the process to find the minimum value of a function defined by an integral?
-To find the minimum value, you evaluate the function at specific points to see where the function value is the smallest. In the provided script, the minimum values occur at x = 0 and x = 4.
How do you find the maximum value of a function defined by an integral?
-The maximum value occurs at the point where the area under the curve is the largest before it starts decreasing. In the script, the maximum is at x = 1.5.
What is the significance of the constant lower boundary in the integral when taking the derivative?
-The constant lower boundary does not affect the derivative of the integral function because when you take the derivative of a constant, it becomes zero.
How does the chain rule apply when taking the derivative of an integral with a variable upper boundary?
-The chain rule is applied by plugging in the upper boundary variable into the integrand and then multiplying by the derivative of the upper boundary variable.
What is the area of a semicircle in terms of its radius?
-The area of a semicircle is half the area of a full circle, which is calculated as (PI * R^2) / 2, where R is the radius of the semicircle.
How can you split an integral with variables in both the lower and upper boundaries?
-You can split the integral by choosing a constant number between the two variables as a new boundary and then summing the results of the two separate integrals on either side of this chosen number.
What happens to the integral when you change the order of the boundaries in an integral with variables?
-If you change the order of the boundaries, the integral becomes negative because you are integrating in the opposite direction.
Why does the specific number chosen as the new boundary when splitting an integral not affect the final result?
-The specific number chosen does not affect the final result because when taking the derivative of the integral (to find the antiderivative), the derivative of a constant is zero, thus the constant disappears.
How does the process of finding the derivative of an integral with a variable upper boundary simplify when using the second fundamental theorem of calculus?
-The process simplifies because instead of finding the antiderivative and then taking the derivative, you can directly substitute the variable upper boundary into the integrand and apply the chain rule if necessary, which is a quicker method.
