real analysis - Application of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, splitting integrals

Looking for some help and explanation on some questions that require FTC.
I will be using the following versions of FTC. I have made an attempt but they do not correspond to the solutions I was given out so am looking for feedback on why my method is incorrect.



FTC 1



Let f be regulated on the interval [a,b] and f is continuous on at c(a,b). Then F(x)=xaf is differentiable on (a,b) with F(c)=f(c)



FTC 2




Let f:[a,b]R be continuous and let g:[a,b]R be differentiable with g(x)=f(x)x[a,b]. Then baf=g(b)g(a)



Questions



1) Let I=ba1logxdx
Find: dIda,dIdb



So my method is to let F be such that F=1logx, and then using FTC2, I get I=F(b)F(a). After differentiation I get 1loga,1logb respectively.



Now the solutions suggest that I split the integral up into b2,2a=b2a2, and then differentiate here. Am I missing something about the conditions? Do I need to rearrange each equation into the indefinite integral?




2) Same as above except now I=b(x)a(x)1logxdx I need to find I(x) a(x) and b(x) are functions with values in [2,)



In the form of b(x), a(x) I can't seem to rearrange it into the indefinite integral form. From the solutions they still seem to recommend that I write
I(x)=J(a(x))J(b(x)) where J(a)=a21logtdt and then differentiating with the chain rule. I don't understand why this is necessary, as to me, an unrigorous solution that uses the same idea ddx(F(b(x))F(a(x)) does the same thing, so why do we need to split the integral like this?



3) Can someone give me an example of how they would split 1+x2x2f(t)dt,xR



4) Where do I need to comment about differentiability / continuity? Do I need to prove that the functions I here are continuous before I use the theorem?
