How to Differentiate an Integral with a Variable Upper Limit?

I have this equation


<br /> \int_t^T n(s) (1- e^{-c (T-s)}) ds = c F(T)<br />


and I need to differentiate both sides with respect to T

<br /> \frac{\partial }{\partial T}<br />

to get the following result

<br /> \int_t^T n(s) ( e^{-c (T-s)}) ds = \frac{\partial F(T)}{\partial T}<br />

How was it done ? What integration and differentiation rule was used ? If you could show it step by step I would appreciate.

I would rewrite the integral:

<br /> \int_t^T n(s) (1- e^{-c (T-s)}) ds = \int_t^T n(s)ds-e^{-cT}\int_t^T n(s) e^{cs}} ds<br />

Then use the tried and true fundamental theorem of calculus (assuming g is continuous):

\frac{d}{dT}\int_{a}^{T}g(s)ds=g(T)

The purpose of rewriting was to remove any potentially confusing dependence of T from the integrands.
 
Yeah, sure. Now I see it.

Thanks very much for the prompt reply
