Suppose that $$F(x)=∫_x^2 f(t)\,dt \\ f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$$ Find $F′′(2)$?

The discussion focuses on finding the second derivative \( F''(2) \) for the function defined as \( F(x) = \int_x^2 f(t) \, dt \), where \( f(t) = \int_{t^2}^1 \frac{\sqrt{5 + u^6}}{u} \, du \). The participants derive that \( F''(x) = -s(x^2) \cdot 2x \) with \( s(u) = \frac{\sqrt{5 + u^6}}{u} \). To find \( F''(2) \), one must substitute \( x = 2 \) into the derived expression and evaluate \( s(4) \).

Where did you get the s? ,I'm kinda confused.I like Serena said:Hi Eletronic! Welcome to MHB! ;)
Let's define:
$$\hat f(t)=\int f(t)\,dt, \\s(u)=\sqrt{5+u^6}/u, \\\hat s(u)=\int s(u)\,du$$
Then:
$$F(x)=\int_x^2 f(t)\,dt =\hat f(2)-\hat f(x) \\
F'(x)=-\hat f'(x) = -f(x) \\
F''(x)=-f'(x) \\
f(t)=\int_{t^2}^1 s(u)\, du = \hat s(1) - \hat s(t^2) \\
f'(t)=-\hat s'(t^2)\cdot 2t = -s(t^2)\cdot 2t
$$
So:
$$F''(x)=-s(x^2)\cdot 2x$$
How could we continue? (Wondering)

I like Serena said:The second given integral is $f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$, isn't it?
We're defining $s(u)$ to be the integrand for ease of reference.
