Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Finding Definite Integrals)

The document summarizes the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which relates definite integrals to antiderivatives. It states that if F(x) is the antiderivative of the function f(x), then the definite integral from a to b of f(x) dx is equal to F(b) - F(a). It provides examples of using the Fundamental Theorem to evaluate definite integrals. It also gives an example problem asking for the value of an antiderivative function f(x) at e, given its derivative and value at 1.

BC Unit 2 Video 5: Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

In the last lesson we looked the antiderivative. In this lesson we are going to use that antiderivative to
find definite integrals.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (finding definite integrals)


If is continuous at every point of [a, b], and if () = () , that is to say that () is the
antiderivative of (), then

() = _______________________________________________
What this is doing is adding up an infinite Riemann sum using limits, which we will explore at a later
date.
* This notation is important as AP often times uses it to tell you that () is an antiderivative without
using that term.

Recall: Order of Limits of Integration


If < , then () = ____________________________________________

1 2
Ex 1: 22
Ex 2: 0 (1 + cos )

(ln 3)2
Ex 3: Let () =
. If (1) = 2, then () = ?
