The problem asks us to find F'(𝓍) for the interval -2 ≤ 𝓍 < 0 using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Recall that the Fundamental Theorem states that if F(𝓍) = ∫ₐˣ ƒ(t) dt, then F'(𝓍) = ƒ(𝓍), provided ƒ is continuous at 𝓍.
The given function ƒ(t) is piecewise defined as ƒ(t) = t for -2 ≤ t < 0 and ƒ(t) = t²/2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2. For the interval -2 ≤ 𝓍 < 0, we are concerned only with the first piece of the function, ƒ(t) = t.
Using the Fundamental Theorem, F'(𝓍) = ƒ(𝓍). Since ƒ(t) = t in this interval, we substitute 𝓍 for t, giving F'(𝓍) = 𝓍 for -2 ≤ 𝓍 < 0.
Verify that the function ƒ(t) = t is continuous on the interval -2 ≤ t < 0. This is true because the function t is a simple linear function, which is continuous everywhere.
Thus, the expression for F'(𝓍) in the interval -2 ≤ 𝓍 < 0 is F'(𝓍) = 𝓍.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links the concept of differentiation and integration, stating that if F is an antiderivative of a function f on an interval [a, b], then the integral of f from a to b can be computed as F(b) - F(a). This theorem also implies that the derivative of the integral function F(x) is equal to the original function f evaluated at x, which is crucial for finding expressions like F'(x).

Definite Integral

A definite integral represents the signed area under the curve of a function f(t) from a lower limit a to an upper limit b. It is denoted as ∫_a^b f(t) dt and provides a numerical value that corresponds to the accumulation of quantities, such as area, over the specified interval. In this context, F(x) and G(x) are defined as definite integrals of the function f(t) over different intervals.

Piecewise Function

A piecewise function is defined by different expressions based on the input value. In this case, the function f(t) is defined differently for the intervals t < 0 and 0 ≤ t ≤ 2. Understanding how to evaluate piecewise functions is essential for correctly applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, especially when determining derivatives or integrals over specific intervals.
