Differentiation under Integral Sign.

 f (x,)dx,
b
Let a function f (x , ) be continuous for a  x  b and c    d . Then for any   [c, d ] , if I( )  then
a

 f '(x,)dx,
b
I' ( )  where I' ( ) is the derivative of I( ) w.r.t.  and f ' (x , ) is the derivative of f (x , ) w.r.t. , keeping x
a

constant. Now evaluate I' ( ) as by integrating f ' (x , ) with respect to x. Integrate I' ( ) to get I( ) .
