In summary, the general Leibniz' formula states that the derivative of an integral with respect to the upper limit is equal to the derivative of the upper limit multiplied by the function evaluated at the upper limit, minus the derivative of the lower limit multiplied by the function evaluated at the lower limit, plus the integral of the partial derivative of the function with respect to x evaluated at all points between the upper and lower limits. This can be applied using the chain rule by denoting the upper limit as y(x) and finding the derivative of F with respect to y, multiplied by the derivative of y with respect to x.

What you should do is to use the chain rule. Denote the upper limit of the integral (the limit which itself is an integral) as y(x). Then you should be able to see that dF/dx = dF/dy dy/dx.

The general Leibniz' formula is
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\int_{\alpha(x)}^{\beta(x)} F(x,t)dt= \frac{d\beta(x)}{dx}F(x,\beta(x))- \frac{d\alpha(x)}{dx}F(x,\alpha(x))+ \int_{\alpha(x)}^{\beta(x)}\frac{\partial F(x,t)}{\partial x} dt[/tex]
