Integral Help Please! Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Questions!?

1. If f(x)= the integral of t^3 dt from x to 12 then the derivative of f(x)=?

2. Find the derivative of the following function?

    1.

    FTC: d/dx of an integral from any constant to x : plug the x into the function inside the integral

    Find: d/dx of the integral from x to 12 of t^3

    First, we flip the integral and let it go from 12 to x instead. In doing so, we must flip the sign of the answer we get.

    By FTC, plugging in x into the function t^3 gives us x^3. And now flip the sign to get - X^3.

    f'(x) = -x^3

    2.

    FTC: when the limits of your integral = u, plug u into the function for t and multiply by u' (chain rule).

    d/dx from x^3 to x^4 of (2t-1)^3 dt

    =[4x^3(2x^4 - 1)^3] - [3x^2(2x^3 - 1)^3]
