Chapter 7, Problem 7.3.25
In Exercises 7–26, find the derivative of y with respect to x, t, or θ, as appropriate.
y = ∫(from 0 to lnx) sin(e^t) dt
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function given: \( y = \int_0^{\ln x} \sin(e^t) \, dt \). This is a definite integral with a variable upper limit \( \ln x \).
Recall the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1, which states that if \( y = \int_a^{g(x)} f(t) \, dt \), then \( \frac{dy}{dx} = f(g(x)) \cdot g'(x) \).
In this problem, \( f(t) = \sin(e^t) \) and the upper limit is \( g(x) = \ln x \). The lower limit is a constant (0), so it does not affect the derivative.
Compute the derivative of the upper limit: \( \frac{d}{dx} (\ln x) = \frac{1}{x} \).
Apply the chain rule: \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \sin(e^{\ln x}) \cdot \frac{1}{x} \). Note that \( e^{\ln x} = x \), so the derivative simplifies to \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \sin(x) \cdot \frac{1}{x} \).

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
This theorem connects differentiation and integration, stating that if a function is defined as an integral with a variable upper limit, its derivative is the integrand evaluated at that limit. It allows us to differentiate an integral with variable limits directly.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1
Chain Rule
The chain rule is used to differentiate composite functions. When the upper limit of the integral is a function of x (like ln(x)), we must multiply the derivative of the integral's upper limit by the derivative of that function to find the overall derivative.

Properties of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
Understanding the derivatives of ln(x) and e^t is essential here. The derivative of ln(x) is 1/x, and e^t is its own derivative. These properties help simplify the expression when applying the chain rule and evaluating the integrand.
