Example 5

We can show that a (t + 1) dt = 21 (x2 a2 ) + (x a). This means that A(x) = a (t + 1) dt =
1
(x2 a2 ) + (x a). Differentiating A(x) we get,

A0 (x) = (2)(x) + 1 = x + 1 = f (x)

Example 6

Let f (x) = 3x2 . We observe that if F (x) = x3 then F 0 (x) = 3x2 = f (x). Part (2) of the fundemental
theorem of Calculus states,

3x2 dx = F (b) F (a) = b3 a3

Proof of the fundemental theorem of Calculus

If f is a continuous function and F is any function such that F 0 (x) = f (x), then F is said to be an
antiderivative of f . F is also known as the primitive integral or the indefinite integral.

A0 (x) = lim

With x < ch < x + h. By the sandwich theorem as h 0, ch x, so A0 (x) = f (x).

Part 2

Rx
If F 0 (x) = f (x) then, a f (x) dx = F (b) F (a). From part (1), A(x) = a f (t) dt satisfies A0 (x) = f (x).
Introducing the equation G(x) = F (x)A(x) = G0 (x) = F 0 (x)A0 (x) = G(x) = f (x)f (x) = 0.
So G is a constant, G(x) = c. So F (x) = A(x) + G(x) = F (x) = A(x) + c. So,
Z x
F (x) =
f (t) dt + c

f (t) dt = 0 from integral property (5).

To conclude, the fundemental theorem of Caculus says (1) differentiation is the inverse of integration.
(2) integration is the inverse of differentiation.
