Compute \(\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac1x\int_0^x\cos(t^2)\,dt\).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(1\)

Explanation

It is the derivative at \(0\) of \(F(x)=\int_0^x\cos(t^2)\,dt\) (with \(F(0)=0\)), which equals \(\cos 0=1\).

Review the concept: Fundamental theorem of calculus

It links derivatives and integrals: a definite integral equals an antiderivative evaluated at the endpoints, and differentiating an integral with variable upper limit returns the integrand.

\[\begin{gathered}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\\ \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t)\,dt=f(x)\end{gathered}\]
