Answer

Answer $c$

Work Step by Step

Since $F$ is an antiderivative of $f$ it follows that: $$F'(x)=f(x)$$ Verify each choice. a-$$F(x)=\int_{2}^{x}2tdt$$ Using the $FTC$ it follows: $$F'(x)=2x$$ $$f(x)=2x$$ so option $a$ is discarded. b-$$F(x)=\int_{0}^{2}t^{2}dt$$ Using the $FTC$ it follows: $$F'(x)=0$$ $$f(x)=0$$ so option $b$ is discarded. c-$$F(x)=\int_{2}^{x}t^{2}dt$$ Using the $FTC$ it follows: $$F'(x)=x^{2}$$ $$f(x)=x^{2}$$ also $$F(2)=\int_{2}^{2}t^{2}dt=0$$ Therefore, the correct choice is $c$.
