Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1

Problem 4.211 · medium

Find \( \displaystyle \dfrac{d}{dx} \displaystyle \int_{2}^{\sqrt{x}} \ln{\left(t^{2} + 2 \right)} \, dt \).

By FTC Part 1 and the chain rule, d/dx ∫ from a to u(x) of g(t) dt = g(u(x)) u'(x).

gpt-oss:20b: pass
qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass — The solution correctly applies the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus combined with the chain rule. The substitution of the upper limit into the integrand and the multiplication by the derivative of the upper limit are performed correctly.

qwen3.6:27b-mlx: pass 2026-09-29 — The solution correctly applies the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1 combined with the Chain Rule. The substitution of u(x) = sqrt(x) into g(t) = ln(t^2 + 2) yields ln(x + 2), and the derivative u'(x) is correctly identified as 1/(2*sqrt(x)).

Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence, not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by generator:structured/ftc_part1, checked 2026-09-29 with SymPy 1.14.0.
