The - Fundamental - Theorem - of - Calculus Part 2

The document is a calculus worksheet that provides examples and exercises involving the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. It defines the indefinite integral and states the Fundamental Theorem, which relates the indefinite integral of a function to the definite integral between limits, allowing one to be computed from the other. The examples and exercises then apply this theorem to evaluate several definite integrals by first taking the antiderivative and then evaluating between the given limits.

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus- Part 2


The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus The indefinite integral of f (x) is defined by ∫ f ( x )dx=F ( x )+C , where
F(x) is an antiderivative of f (x) and C is any constant.

Fundamental
If F(x) is the antiderivative of the continuous function f (x), then ∫ f (x )=F(b)−F (a).
