Evaluating definite integrals using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus












4












$begingroup$


Here is a statement of the second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC2), from a well-known calculus text (James Stewart, Calculus, 4th ed):




If $f$ is continuous on $[a,b]$, then $int_a^b f(x) , dx = F(a)-F(b)$, where $F$ is any [emphasis mine] antiderivative of $f$, that is, a function such that $F'=f$.




The following, however, seems to give a counterexample.*

Can someone resolve this for me?:



Let $f(x) = frac{1}{4 sin (x)+5}$.



$f$ is continuous on $[0, 2 pi]$:



enter image description here



Consider two antiderivatives of $f$, $F_1$ and $F_2$:



$$F_1(x) = frac{x}{3}+frac{2}{3} tan^{-1}left(frac{cos (x)}{sin (x)+2}right)$$



$$F_2(x)=frac{1}{3} left(tan ^{-1}left(2-frac{3}{tan left(frac{x}{2}right)+2}right)-tan^{-1}left(2-frac{3}{cot left(frac{x}{2}right)+2}right)right).$$



Using Mathematica, I've confirmed that both $F_1'= f$ and $F_2'= f$. According to my reading of the above statement of FTC(2), $int_0^{2pi} f (x) , dx = F_1(2pi)-F_1(0)= F_2(2pi)-F_2(0)$



However,



$F_1(2pi)-F_1(0)=2pi/3$



$F_2(2pi)-F_2(0)=0$



Note from the plots below that $F_1$ is continuous on $[a,b]$, while $F_2$ is not. Given all of this, it seems the sufficient condition for $int_a^b f (x) , dx = F(a)-F(b)$ is that the antiderivative be continuous on $[a,b]$, not the integrand.



$F_1 =$

$F_2=$

          A differentiable function is continuous. If your "antiderivative" is not continuous, it is not an antiderivative of a continuous function.

                    ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

                    Image
                    0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited. ...
