#F'(x)= -1/(2)*(sqrt(x))/(5+4(x^2)#

First rewrite so the upper bound is the function:

#-\int_1^sqrt(x)s^2/(5+4s^4)ds#

(Flip the bounds, flip the sign.)

Now use the 2nd FTC:

#d/(dx)(-\int_1^sqrt(x)s^2/(5+4s^4)ds)=-((sqrt(x))^2)/(5+4(sqrt(x))^4)*1/(2sqrt(x))#

Simplifying gives us:
#F'(x)= -1/(2)*(sqrt(x))/(5+4(x^2)#
