The Fundamental Theorems of Calculus: Lesson 5.4

The document discusses the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus. The First Fundamental Theorem states that the definite integral of a continuous function over an interval can be computed by finding an antiderivative and evaluating it at the limits of integration. The Second Fundamental Theorem states that the derivative of an indefinite integral with respect to its upper limit is equal to the integrand. It also establishes that if a function is defined by an indefinite integral, taking its derivative using the chain rule yields the integrand. Examples are provided to illustrate these theorems.

First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus


Given f is
continuous on interval [a, b]
F is any function that satisfies F(x) = f(x)

Then

First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus


The definite integral

f ( x)dx

can be computed by
finding an antiderivative F on interval [a,b]
evaluating at limits a and b and subtracting
