Let \(f(x)=\int_{\sin x}^{\cos x} e^{-t^2} d t\). Then \(f^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\) equals

  1. A \(\sqrt{1 / e}\)
  2. B \(-\sqrt{2 / e}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{2 / e}\)
  4. D \(-\sqrt{1 / e}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-\sqrt{2 / e}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f^{\prime}(x)=-e^{-\cos ^2 x} \sin x-e^{-\sin ^2 x} \cos x\) \(\therefore f^{\prime}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=-e^{-\frac{1}{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-e^{-\frac{1}{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2 e}}=-\sqrt{\frac{2}{e}}\)
