Find the derivative of: (see picture)

Find f'(x) when

OpenStudy (no_ellephant):

i got -(x/(2+3x^2)) but its not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a cleaver question, but the derivative of an integral is the function it's self. the derivative undoes the integral

OpenStudy (no_ellephant):

but the answer should be in terms of x

Using the fundamental theorem of calculus to find the derivative (with respect to x) of an integral like |dw:1381817140394:dw| seems to cause students great difficulty. We'll try to clear up the confusion. Here's the fundamental theorem of calculus: Theorem If f is a function that is continuous on an open interval I, if a is any point in the interval I, and if the function F is defined by |dw:1381817222491:dw|then the derivative of F(x) is F'(x) = f(x) for every x in the interval I. (Sometimes this theorem is called the second fundamental theorem of calculus.) Another way of stating the conclusion of the fundamental theorem of calculus is:
