Is my reasoning for whether  F  (  x  )  =      ∫          0              x            ∑          0              ∞                  cos      ⁡      (      n      t      )              2      n        d  t

It looks good, but some additional justifications should be made. At the start (and for the later series) you should state why the series converges uniformly (by the Weierstrass_M-test, e.g.).Also, to justify that the sum of the series is integrable and that switching the order of summation and integration is valid, you should state that the terms of   G  (  x  )  =      ∑          n      =      0        ∞                      cos        ⁡        (        n        t        )                    2        n             are integrable over any interval   [  0  ,  x  ]But, can save a few steps in your argument. Since       ∑          n      =      0        ∞                      cos        ⁡        (        n        t        )                    2        n             converges uniformly to   G  (  x  ), and since the terms of this series are continuous,   G  (  x  ) is a continuous function. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus immediately gives you the continuity of   F  (  x  )  =      ∫    0    x    G  (  t  )    d  t
