(a)
Using the product rule, followed by the chain rule, followed
by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1,
f′(x)=3x2∫0x3+1et3dt+x3dxd∫0x3+1et3dt=3x2∫0x3+1et3dt+x3 [3x2][dyd∫0yet3dt]y=x3+1=3x2∫0x3+1et3dt+x3 [3x2][ey3]y=x3+1=3x2∫0x3+1et3dt+x3 [3x2]e(x3+1)3=3x2∫0x3+1et3dt+3x5e(x3+1)3
(b)
In general, the equation of the tangent line to the graph of y=f(x) at x=a
is
y=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)
Substituting in the given f(x) and a=−1:
f(a)=f(−1)f′(a)=f′(−1)(x−a)=x−(−1)So, the equation of the tangent line isy=−3(x+1) .=(−1)3∫00et3 dt=0=3(−1)2∫00et3 dt+3(−1)5e0=0−3=−3=x+1
