  1. What does the dx mean in an integral? [duplicate]

    The " dx d x " lets people think informally that you're multiplying a height, f(x) f (x), by an "infinitesimal width", dx d x, and then taking an infinite sum.

  2. What do the symbols d/dx and dy/dx mean? - Mathematics Stack …

    May 2, 2015 · dy dx =limh→0 f(x + h) − f(x) h. d y d x = lim h → 0 f (x + h) f (x) h and this is is (again) called the derivative of y y or the derivative of f f. Note that it again is a function of x x …

  3. calculus - Finding $\int x^xdx$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    These identities for dx d x and dx d x are sometimes called the "sophomore's dream". Look that up on Wikipedia.

  4. calculus - What is the true, formal meaning and reason for the "dx ...

    Sep 9, 2020 · Prior to the 1800s, "dx" was considered an "infinitesimal" - a number so close to zero that, for some things, it can be considered actually zero, but wasn't exactly zero. In the …

  5. 究竟如何理解 dx? - 知乎

    Dec 17, 2019 · 所以针对楼主问题的答案,什么是dx,dx就是自变量的微分,它等于一个无穷小量,既然是自变量的微分,就可以进行各种运算,比如3dx=d3x一样。 但是永远别忘了,有一个 …

  6. Understanding the differential $dx$ when doing $u$-substitution

    Here, δn =xn −xn−1 δ n = x n x n 1 is providing some measure of how important the bit of space between xn−1,xn x n 1, x n is in computing the integral. The dx d x is what keeps track of that …

  7. Calculus 2 integral $\\int {\\frac{2}{x\\sqrt{x+1}}}\\, dx$

    Make a substitution to express the integrand as a rational function and then evaluate the integral $$\int {\frac {2} {x\sqrt {x+1}}}\, dx$$ What is the substitution that I have to make?

  8. What does $\\frac{d^6y}{ dx^6}$ mean? - Mathematics Stack …

    The symbol " d dx d d x " is used to indicate a single derivative (with respect to x x). We treat repeated application of this operator symbolically as "powers" of the operator (as if it were …

  9. calculus - Evaluating $\int \frac {1} { {x^4+1}} dx$ - Mathematics ...

    The integrand 1 1+x4 1 1 + x 4 is a rational function (quotient of two polynomials), so I could solve the integral if I can find the partial fraction of 1 1+x4 1 1 + x 4. But I failed to factorize 1 +x4 1 + …

  10. Why is $d(x^2)= 2xdx$? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Jan 27, 2021 · Now, we take the limit as Δx Δ x approaches 0 0, giving us dy/dx = 2x d y / d x = 2 x. Note that dy/dx d y / d x is the limit as Δx Δ x goes to 0 0 of Δy/Δx Δ y / Δ x by definition.
