How do you use part I of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the derivative of: f(x) = ∫(((1/3)t2) - 1)7dt from x to 3?
Solution:
Given, f(x) = \(\int (((\frac{1}{3}t^{2})-1))^{7}\) from x to 3.
We have to find the derivative using part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that
\(\frac{d}{dx}\int_{a}^{x}f(t)\, dt=f(x)for any constant a\)
Now, f’(x) where f(x) = \(\int_{x}^{3}(\frac{1}{3}t^{2}-1)^{7}dt\)
\(f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\int_{x}^{3}(\frac{1}{3}t^{2}-1)^{7}dt\)
We have to change the limits of integration to get the function into the correct form.
\(f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(-\int_{x}^{3}(\frac{1}{3}t^{2}-1)^{7}dt)\)
\(f'(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}\int_{x}^{3}(\frac{1}{3}t^{2}-1)^{7}dt\)
Now, we can directly apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus,
\(f'(x)=-(\frac{1}{3}(x)^{2}-1)^{7}\)
Therefore, the derivative is \(f'(x)=-(\frac{1}{3}(x)^{2}-1)^{7}\).

Summary:
The derivative of f(x) = \(\int (((\frac{1}{3}t^{2})-1))^{7}\) from x to 3, using part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is \(f'(x)=-(\frac{1}{3}(x)^{2}-1)^{7}\).
