$$\frac {d} {dt}\int_{1}^{x} sint dt$$

This one is easy if you remember the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Thanks, i guess i was just looking for what particular method to use.

Well, there are two methods...

You could solve the integral, which isn't too hard (the answer is cos(1)-cos(x)), and then differentiate it wrt x to reveal the function. But it's easier to just remember the FTC.

The result is zero.

Are you sure that you notated this correctly? It looks unusual to me. The integration would be done with respect to a variable t (essentially a dummy variable), and the result will be a function of x (the upper limit). The derivative of this with respect to t would then be zero.

Did you intend the derivative to be with respect to x?

Yes, sorry, it's d/dx

Wouldn't the result be just "sinx" ?
