Answer

$F^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}$

Work Step by Step

Use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Th 4.11) $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left[\int_{a}^{x}f(t)dt\right] =f(x)$ Here, $F(x)$=$\displaystyle \int_{1}^{3x}f(t)dt,\qquad$ f(t) $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{t}, a=1$ With the substitution $u=3x, \displaystyle \frac{du}{dx}=3,$ we apply the chain rule $F^{\prime}(x)=\displaystyle \frac{dF}{du}\cdot\frac{du}{dx}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{d}{du}[\int_{1}^{u}f(t)]\cdot 3$ $=f(u)\cdot 3$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{u}\cdot 3$ $=\displaystyle \frac{3}{3x}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}$
