4. (5 pts) Let $g(x) = \int_2^x \frac{1}{\ln t} dt$. (a) Find $g'(x)$. Determine if g is increasing or decreasing over its domain $(1, \infty)$. (b) Let $f(x) = \int_{1+x^2}^x \frac{1}{\ln t} dt$. Find $f'(x)$. (c) Use a substitution to show that $g(x) = \int_{\ln 2}^{\ln x} \frac{e^u}{u} du$. (This is a well-known function that has no elementary antiderivative.)

Step 1
To determine if g is increasing or decreasing, we need to analyze the sign of g'(x). Since ln x is always positive for x > 1, g'(x) is always positive. Therefore, g is increasing over its domain (1, ∞). Show more…

Let $ \displaystyle g(x) = \int^x_0 f(t) \,dt $, where $ f $ is the function whose graph is shown. (a) Evaluate $ g(0) $ and $ g(6) $ (b) Estimate $ g(x) $ for $ x $ = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. (c) On what interval is $ g $ increasing? (d) Where does $ g $ have a maximum value? (e) Sketch a rough graph of $ g $. (f) Use the graph in part (e) to sketch the graph of $ g'(x) $. Compare with the graph of $ f $.
Let $F(x)=\int_{a}^{u(x)} f(t) d t$ for the specified $a, u,$ and $f .$ Use a CAS to perform the following steps and answer the questions posed. a. Find the domain of $F .$ b. Calculate $F^{\prime}(x)$ and determine its zeros. For what points in its domain is $F$ increasing? Decreasing? c. Calculate $F^{\prime \prime}(x)$ and determine its zero. Identify the local extrema and the points of inflection of $F .$ d. Using the information from parts $(a)-(c),$ draw a rough hand-sketch of $y=F(x)$ over its domain. Then graph $F(x)$ on your CAS to support your sketch. $$ a=0, \quad u(x)=x^{2}, \quad f(x)=\sqrt{1-x^{2}} $$
