The discussion centers on the application of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) in solving problems involving definite integrals. The user seeks clarification on whether to utilize Part 1 or Part 2 of the FTC for the function defined as f(x) = ∫ from 1 to 2x of cube root(1+t^3)dt. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinction between finding the function f(x) and its derivative f'(x) in the context of the FTC.

So, are you to find f(x)?Joe_K said:Homework Statement
I am working on some problems with the fundamental theorem. I need to refresh my memory though, because I have forgotten exactly how to do these problems. I actually am not even sure if I use part 1 or part 2 of the FTC for these problems, so if you could help me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Here is one of them
f(x) = ∫ from 1 to 2x of cube root(1+t^3)dt
