The Fundamental Theorems
of Calculus
Lesson 5.4
First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
 Given f is
 continuous on interval [a, b]
 F is any function that satisfies F(x) = f(x)
 Then
f ( x)dx  F (b)  F (a )
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

Second Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus
 Often useful to think of the following form
f (t )dt
 We can consider this to be a function in
terms of x
