The Leibniz Integral Rule template allows direct differentiation of an integral with variable limits:
(d)/(dx)( ∫₀x g(t) dt ) = g(x)Core Logic
Differentiate both sides of the given functional equation with respect to x using the product rule:
(d)/(dx)[ 2(x+2)² f(x) - 3(x+2)² ] = (d)/(dx)[ 10∫₀x(t+2)f(t)dt ] 4(x+2)f(x) + 2(x+2)² f'(x) - 6(x+2) = 10(x+2)f(x)Since x ≥ 0, the factor (x+2) is strictly non-zero. Divide the entire equation by 2(x+2):
2f(x) + (x+2)f'(x) - 3 = 5f(x) (x+2)f'(x) - 3f(x) = 3Step 1: Solve the First-Order Differential Equation
Rearrange the expression into standard linear differential equation form where y = f(x):
(dy)/(dx) - (3)/(x+2)y = (3)/(x+2)Compute the Integrating Factor (I.F.):
I.F. = e∫ -(3)/(x+2) dx = e-3ln(x+2) = (x+2)⁻³Multiply through by the I.F. and integrate:
y · (x+2)⁻³ = ∫ (3)/(x+2) · (x+2)⁻³ dx = ∫ 3(x+2)⁻⁴ dx (f(x))/((x+2)³) = 3 · (x+2)⁻³-3 + C = -(x+2)⁻³ + C f(x) = -1 + C(x+2)³Step 2: Apply the Boundary Condition
Find the boundary condition by substituting x = 0 into the original integral equation equation:
2(0+2)² f(0) - 3(0+2)² = 10 ∫₀⁰ (t+2)f(t) dt 8f(0) - 12 = 0 f(0) = (12)/(8) = (3)/(2)Substitute x = 0 into our general solution formula:
f(0) = -1 + C(0+2)³ (3)/(2) = -1 + 8C (5)/(2) = 8C C = (5)/(16)Thus, the explicit function is:
f(x) = -1 + (5)/(16)(x+2)³Step 3: Evaluate at target point x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into the final function equation:
f(2) = -1 + (5)/(16)(2+2)³ = -1 + (5)/(16)(64) f(2) = -1 + 5(4) = -1 + 20 = 19Pattern Recognition
When an equation contains a variable integral limit ∫₀^x, differentiating both sides using the Leibniz rule converts it into a standard differential equation. The initial value is found by setting x = 0 directly in the original expression.
