MHB Find the derivative of the antiderivative

Click For Summary
To find the derivative of the antiderivative, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTOC) and the Chain Rule are essential. The discussion emphasizes the need to consider the bounds of the integral when applying these rules. The formula provided indicates that the derivative involves evaluating the function at the upper and lower bounds and multiplying by the derivatives of those bounds. Clarification is sought on whether this approach is correct for computing F'(x). A clear solution is requested to resolve the confusion surrounding the application of these concepts.

I know it seems pretty self explanatory, but I've tried to do this question and I've apparently gotten the wrong answer twice.

If anyone can give me a clear solution to the problem, that would be greatly aooreciated. I initially tried to follow a video I saw online, but I think there is something different I need to do considering the bounds. Maybe splitting the integral?

By the FTOC and the Chain Rule, we have:

$$\frac{d}{dx}\int_{g(x)}^{h(x)} f(t)\,dt=f(h(x))\frac{dh}{dx}-f(g(x))\frac{dg}{dx}$$

Can you use this rule to compute $F'(x)$?
