Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1
Problem 4.27 · medium
Find \( \displaystyle \dfrac{d}{dx} \displaystyle \int_{0}^{x^{3}} \ln{\left(t^{2} + 2 \right)} \, dt \).
- By FTC Part 1 and the chain rule, d/dx ∫ from a to u(x) of g(t) dt = g(u(x)) u'(x).
- \[ \frac{d}{d x} x^{3} = 3 x^{2} \]u'(x).✓ Proved
- \[ 3 x^{2} \ln{\left(x^{6} + 2 \right)} \]g(u(x)) u'(x).✓ Proved
Answer \( 3 x^{2} \ln{\left(x^{6} + 2 \right)} \)

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 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
