how would we begin this problem?

The second part of the FTC (fundamental theorem of calculus) says that
\[\int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx = g(b)-g(a)\]
where g(x) is the antiderivative of f(x)
In this case,
\[\int (t+2)dt=\frac{1}{2}t^2+2t+C\]
So \[\int_{0}^{x} (t+2)dt=(\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x+C)-(\frac{1}{2}(0)^2+2(0)+C)=\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x\]

I'm just realizing that some books present the FTC in different order. Let me know if this is the portion you're referring to.

Assuming you mean F(x) in the attachment, you have the right answer.
