find f'x for
\[f(x) = \int\limits_{2}^{x^2}(1/t ^{2})dt\]
1/x^2. This is the 2nd rule of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus I believe.
thats what im guessing as well, but is there anything else to it, with all the intervals?
or are they just here to confuse me.
Nope, nothing else needed. That's all that it is to find it. They are there to confuse you :).
Make it easier to read\[\Large \frac{ d }{ dx } \int\limits\limits_{2}^{x^2}\frac{ 1 }{ t^2 }dt\]
@derpfacelel it's not 1/x^2 \[\Large \frac{ d }{ dx } \int\limits\limits\limits_{2}^{x^2}\frac{ 1 }{ t^2 }dt = \frac{ 1 }{ (x^2)^2 }\]
wouldnt it be 1/x^2, because f(x) is equal to the integral of f'(x) so the answer would be right there
it is 1/x^4, was mistaken. wasn't careful
Oh, wait, I forgot you need to multiply by the derivative of x^2 \[\Large \frac{ d }{ dx } \int\limits\limits\limits\limits_{2}^{x^2}\frac{ 1 }{ t^2 }dt = \frac{ 1 }{ (x^2)^2 }*2x\]

@zubhanwc3 @derpfacelel I made a mistake too.
