I have just learned about partial derivatives but there is a problem thrown in my homework which isn't covered in the text. I am trying to find the first partial derivative of the function. Could someone explain this? Here is one of the problems. If it were explained, I think I could figure out the answer. Thanks in advance!

\(\displaystyle f(x,y) \ = \ \int_{y}^{x}cos(t^{3})dt, \ f_x(x,y) \ = \ cos(x^{3}), \ y \ is \ a \ constant.\)

\(\displaystyle f(x,y) \ = \ \int_{x}^{y}-cos(t^{3})dt, \ f_y(x,y) \ = \ -cos(y^{3}), \ x \ is \ a \ constant.\)
