Derivative of an accumulation function via FTC Part 1
Let .
Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, find .
Hint
By FTC Part 1, where . Since the upper limit is just (not a composite function), simply substitute into — no chain rule is needed here.
Step-by-step solution
By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1, since is continuous near , we have . This holds for all in the domain where is continuous, in particular near .
Substituting gives .
