Finding derivative with fundamental theorem of calculus: chain rule | AP®︎ Calculus | Khan Academy

Let's say that we have the function capital F of x, which we're going to define as the definite integral from 1 to sine of x. So that's an interesting upper bound right over there of 2t minus 1, and of course dt.

What we are curious about is trying to figure out what is F prime of x going to be equal to. So pause this video and see if you can figure that out.

All right, so some of you might have been a little bit challenged by this notion of, hey, instead of an x on this upper bound, I now have a sine of x. If it was just an x, I could have used the fundamental theorem of calculus. Just to review that, if I had a function, let me call it h of x, if I have h of x that was defined as the definite integral from 1 to x of 2t minus 1 dt, we know from the fundamental theorem of calculus that h prime of x would be simply this inner function with the t replaced by the x. It would just be 2x minus 1. Pretty straightforward.

But this one isn't quite as straightforward. Instead of having an x up here, our upper bound is a sine of x. So one way to think about it is if we were to define g of x as being equal to sine of x, our capital F of x can be expressed as capital F of x is the same thing as h of, instead of an x everywhere we see an x, we're replacing it with a sine of x. So it's h of g of x. You can see the g of x right over there, so you replace x with g of x for where in this expression you get h of g of x, and that is capital F of x.

Now, why am I doing all of that? Well, this might start making you think about the chain rule because if this is true, then that means that capital F prime of x is going to be equal to h prime of g of x times g prime of x.

And so, what would that be? Well, we already know what h prime of x is, so let me do this in another color. This part right over here is going to be equal to everywhere we see an x here, we'll replace with the g of x. So it's going to be 2 times sine of x, and then minus 1. This is this right over here.

And then what's g prime of x? g prime of x, well, g prime of x is just, of course, the derivative of sine of x, which is cosine of x. So this part right over here is going to be cosine of x.

And we could keep going, we could try to simplify this a little bit or rewrite it in different ways, but there you have it.
