Exercise · ZW-FUNDAMENTAL-THEOREM-OF-CALCULUS-014 · ★☆☆ Basic

If \(F(x)=\displaystyle\int_1^x\cos(t^2)\,dt\), what is \(F'(x)\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\cos(x^2)\)

Explanation

The integrand \(\cos(t^2)\) is continuous, so \(F'(x)=\cos(x^2)\).

Review the concept: Fundamental theorem of calculus

It links derivatives and integrals: a definite integral equals an antiderivative evaluated at the endpoints, and differentiating an integral with variable upper limit returns the integrand.

\[\begin{gathered}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\\ \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t)\,dt=f(x)\end{gathered}\]
