The second fundamental theorem allows us to take the derivative of a function defined in terms of a definite integral with a variable as an upper limit. It can also be used when the variable is the lower limit os integration by reversed the limits of integration and multiplying by negative one.

Solution. Since
is continuous on the interval
where
is any real number greater than 6, we see that the second fundamental theorem applies to the interval
and so,
![]()

Solution. Since
![]()
and
is continuous on the interval
where
is any real number greater than 12, we see that the second fundamental theorem applies to the interval
and so,
