  • #2
What are the limits of integration?
 
  • #3
the limits are, a to x
 
  • #4
if f(t) = 2 t^2, it seems you'll get the answer
 
  • #5
You want to get f(t) out of the integral so you can solve for it, and to get rid of integrals you differentiate. You'll need to use the fundamental theorem of calculus.
