So

It’s relatively trivial with l’hopital or even easier use the fact that you’re taking the derivative of an integral

You’ve got all the info you need

Ah lhopital

Sure

Slap it with numerical methods like a chad and call it a day

That’s my strategy always

Yeah I taught my son how to write some python to solve arbitrary math problems last week

hm, i dont know for sure. i guess i would use the second fundamental theorem. and it'd be sqrt{1^5 + 8}

Answer is c

Using mathematica

Fuguer, what's the answer?

Which is always right

It’s easily C because that really reduces to dF(1)/dx

= f(1)

A derivative is just a limit

All calculus is limits

In fact

So fuguer has the most elegant solution

Easily

Right that definite integral winds up being exactly what you need to make it a dereivative

^mcgee

oh yea that's true. integral from 1 to 1+h could be written as (F(1+h)-F(1))/h = dF/dx(1)

Exactly

There you go

You cracked it without numerical methods

I’m glad daddy checked it in Mathematica tho

now that I think about it it was dumb to try lol

Yeah that’s what’s beautiful you solve the integral without doing it at all lol

It’s zen

My mind is expanded

I would’ve gotten that sophomore year college though I’m guessing

We got malarkey like that all the time

I'd like to learn

more

Yeah this stuff gets harder as you’re less ingrained in all the tricks

but it would only be useful in times like these

Calc is the most useful math
