Suppose that $$F(x)=∫_x^2 f(t)\,dt \\ f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$$ Find $F′′(2)$?

Where did you get the s? ,I'm kinda confused.I like Serena said:Hi Eletronic! Welcome to MHB! ;)
Let's define:
$$\hat f(t)=\int f(t)\,dt, \\s(u)=\sqrt{5+u^6}/u, \\\hat s(u)=\int s(u)\,du$$
Then:
$$F(x)=\int_x^2 f(t)\,dt =\hat f(2)-\hat f(x) \\
F'(x)=-\hat f'(x) = -f(x) \\
F''(x)=-f'(x) \\
f(t)=\int_{t^2}^1 s(u)\, du = \hat s(1) - \hat s(t^2) \\
f'(t)=-\hat s'(t^2)\cdot 2t = -s(t^2)\cdot 2t
$$
So:
$$F''(x)=-s(x^2)\cdot 2x$$
How could we continue? (Wondering)

I like Serena said:The second given integral is $f(t)=∫_{t^2}^1 \sqrt{5+u^6}/u\, du$, isn't it?
We're defining $s(u)$ to be the integrand for ease of reference.

The notation $F''(2) represents the second derivative of the function F at the point x=2. It is the rate of change of the slope of the original function at x=2.
The function F(x) is the antiderivative or the indefinite integral of the function f(x). In other words, F(x) is the original function that when differentiated, gives the function f(x).
The limits of integration, in this case, x and 2, specify the interval over which the function f(x) is being integrated. In other words, they determine the starting and ending points for the integration.
Yes, the value of $F''(2) can be negative. This indicates a concave down shape in the graph of the original function at x=2.
In order to find the value of $F''(2), we would need to know the function f(x). If the function is not given, we can use numerical or graphical methods to approximate the value of $F''(2) by taking small intervals and calculating the slope at x=2.
