Question

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) = \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{\cos (n t)}{2^{n}}

are integrable over any interval

[0, x]

But, can save a few steps in your argument. Since

\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} \frac{\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) = \int_{0}^{x} G (t) d t
