Solution:

(a)

Step 1:
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus has two parts.
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1
Let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f}   be continuous on  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle [a,b]}   and let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F(x)=\int_a^x f(t)~dt.}
Then,  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F}   is a differentiable function on  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle (a,b)}   and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle F'(x)=f(x).}

Step 2:
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2
Let  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f}   be continuous on  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle [a,b]}   and let  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle F}   be any antiderivative of  $f.$
Then,
$\int _{a}^{b}f(x)~dx=F(b)-F(a).$

(b)

Step 1:
Let  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle F(x)=\int _{0}^{\cos(x)}\sin(t)~dt.}
The problem is asking us to find  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle F'(x).}
Let  $g(x)=\cos(x)$  and  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle G(x)=\int _{0}^{x}\sin(t)~dt.}
Then,
Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle F(x)=G(g(x)).}

Step 2:
If we take the derivative of both sides of the last equation,
we get
$F'(x)=G'(g(x))g'(x)$
by the Chain Rule.

Step 3:
Now,  $g'(x)=-\sin(x)$  and  Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle G'(x)=\sin(x)}
by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1.
Since
$G'(g(x))=\sin(g(x))=\sin(\cos(x)),$
we have
Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle F'(x)=G'(g(x))\cdot g'(x)=\sin(\cos(x))\cdot (-\sin(x)).}

(c)

Step 1:
Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2, we have
Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{4}}\sec ^{2}x~dx=\tan(x){\biggr |}_{0}^{\pi /4}.}

Step 2:
So, we get
Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \int _{0}^{\frac {\pi }{4}}\sec ^{2}x~dx=\tan {\bigg (}{\frac {\pi }{4}}{\bigg )}-\tan(0)=1.}

Final Answer:
(a)     See solution above.
(b)     Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle \sin(\cos(x))\cdot (-\sin(x))}
(c)     $1$
