#F'(x)=2xe^(x^4)#

Explanation:

The best way to approach this is to rewrite this integral. It canbe better re-written to the following:
#F(x)=\int_0^{x^2}e^{t^2}dt#
So that no ambiguity is given about which variable is being integrated
Suppose #G(t)=\int e^{t^2}dt#
Then #F(x)=G(x^2)-G(0)# by the fundamental theorem of calculus
Since you can differentiate now, notice that G(0) is a constant so it dissapears. And you are left with
#F'(x)=d/{dx}G(x^2)#
Now if you substitute u=x^2, and use the chain rule then
#F'(x)={du}/{dx}\cdot d/{du}G(u)#
Now since you know #u=x^2# and so therefore #{du}/{dx}=2x#
And you also know that if #G(t)=\int e^{t^2}dt#, then #{dG}/{du}=e^{u^2}#
Therefore putting it all together and substituting the value of #u#
#F'(x)=2xe^{u^2}=2xe^{(x^2)^2}=2xe^(x^4)#
