Differentiating the given integral equation term by term (variable-upper-limit and variable-lower-limit integrals both reduce via the Fundamental Theorem) produces a simple algebraic equation for f(x)f(x), from which f(1)f(1) follows directly.

Step 1. Write down the given equation.

∫0xf(t) dt=x+∫x1tf(t) dt.\int_0^x f(t)\,dt = x+\int_x^1 tf(t)\,dt.

Step 2. Differentiate the left side w.r.t. xx. By the First Fundamental Theorem (Theorem 9.1),

ddx∫0xf(t) dt=f(x).\frac{d}{dx}\int_0^x f(t)\,dt=f(x).

Step 3. Differentiate the right side term by term. ddx(x)=1\dfrac{d}{dx}(x)=1. For ∫x1tf(t) dt=−∫1xtf(t) dt\displaystyle\int_x^1 tf(t)\,dt=-\int_1^x tf(t)\,dt, applying the First Fundamental Theorem to ∫1xtf(t)dt\int_1^x tf(t)dt (derivative =xf(x)=xf(x)) and the outer minus sign gives

ddx∫x1tf(t) dt=−xf(x).\frac{d}{dx}\int_x^1 tf(t)\,dt=-xf(x). …
