FTC 1

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) is so called because it relates the two
main branches of calculus: differential & integral
The FTC has two parts. The first part tells us the derivative of a function defined by a
definite integral. The second part tells us an easy way to evaluate definite integrals
using antiderivatives.
Suppose f (t) is a continuous function on the interval [a, b] and let g(x) be a function defined for
all x 2 [a, b] as follows:

If f is continuous on [a, b], then

where F is any antiderivative of f , that is, F is any function such that F 0 = f .

=) We can forget about computing difficult limits of Riemann sums! FTC 2 gives us a quick
way to evaluate definite integrals:
1. find an antiderivative of the integrand
2. subtract our antiderivative at the limits of integration

 I NDEFINITE VS D EFINITE I NTEGRALS

From now on, we will use our integral notation in two ways:
R
⇧ We write f (x)dx to represent the most general antiderivative of the integrand f (x).
That is,

ffkldx =FQ ) + C means F) ( x ) =

FK )

R
The integral f (x)dx is called an indefinite integral, but it is simply notation for the
most general antiderivative of f (x).
In particular, an indefinite integral represents a family of functions, each member of
which has derivative equal to f (x).
Rb
⇧ If there are limits of integration, then a f (x)dx is called a definite integral.
Rb
By FTC 2 (assuming f (x) is continuous on [a, b]), the definite integral a f (x)dx equals
the difference F (b) F (a), where F is any antiderivative of f . Thus, a definite integral is
a number, not a family of functions.
