Let be the given integral. Its integrand extends continuously to , with value . The Leibniz integral rule includes both the moving upper endpoint and the derivative of the integrand. For it givesConsequentlyThe zero case follows directly from near zero: expand and integrate up to . Equivalently, the change of variables gives , whose derivative is the same expression, interpreted continuously at zero. This substitution works for negative as an oriented integral too.
