Equation with definite integral.












1














Suppose that I have a function $f(x,y)$,



I want to solve



$$int_a^bf(x,y)dx =0.$$



w.r.t $y$.
Is it possible to say that this is equivalent to solve



$$f(b,y)-f(a,y) =0$$



since I can multiply on both the sides by $frac{d}{dx}$?

    I already have $f(x,y)$ and I want to find $y$ which satisfies the first equation. Since computing the integral might be impossible, I was wondering if the solution of the second equation (w.r.t $y$) is the same as the solution of the first equation.

    No, differentiation is no good for this. In general, when you solve $f(x)=0$ you get just one point, and it does not follow that $frac{d}{dx}f(x)=0$ at that one point. That is, the point where a graph crosses the $x$-axis is not also a point where the tangent to the graph is horizontal.

Your assertion is not correct.



Counterexample



Consider $f(x,y)=cos(x+y),$ $$int_{0}^{pi}cos(x+y)=sin(pi+y)-sin y=-2sin y.$$ For $y={pi};$ takes the integral the value $0.$
But
$$cos(pi+pi)-cos (0+pi)=2neq 0.$$

  • Thanks! I suspected it. But can you explain to me why is not that? If my integral was indefinite I could have done $int f(x) dx = 0 implies int frac{d}{dx}f(x) dx = frac{d}{dx} 0 implies f(x) +c = 0$ but usually the $c$ cancel out when I have definite integral

    The result is a function of $y,$ say $G(y)=int_a^bf(x,y)dx.$ You can derivate it or integrate, but w.r.t. $y.$ If you post a new question with your function $f(x,y)$ it is not excluded that MSE solves the integral.
