Thread: fundamental theorem

Let f(x)=integral(-1 to x) sqrt(1-t^2) dt for all x E |-1,1|
(1)Use fundamental theorem of calculus to evaluate F'(x) for all x |-1,1|
(2)explain why f(x) is invertiable on |-1,1|
(3)Let G(y) denote inverse of F(x).state domain and range of g(y) and evaluate G(pi/4)
(4)evaluate G'(pi/4)
(Hint:use inverse function theorem to express the derivative ofG(y) in terms of derivative of F(x)

For diagram please see the attach

Okay you have,

Thus, (I would like a different lower bound point inside the interval rather than on its endpoint, but anyway)

Thus,

(2)explain why f(x) is invertiable on |-1,1|

The function is continous and increasing. Thus it is a bijective map. Thus, there exists an inverse function on this interval.
