Exercise · ZW-FUNDAMENTAL-THEOREM-OF-CALCULUS-008 · ★☆☆ Basic

What does the second part of the fundamental theorem of calculus state?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\), with \(F\) an antiderivative of \(f\)

Explanation

The second part says that if \(F\) is an antiderivative of a continuous \(f\), the integral of \(f\) from \(a\) to \(b\) equals \(F(b)-F(a)\).

Review the concept: Fundamental theorem of calculus

It links derivatives and integrals: a definite integral equals an antiderivative evaluated at the endpoints, and differentiating an integral with variable upper limit returns the integrand.

\[\begin{gathered}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx=F(b)-F(a)\\ \frac{d}{dx}\int_a^x f(t)\,dt=f(x)\end{gathered}\]
