The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part II

A
  • Let f be defined on the interval [a, b]. The definite integral of f from a to b is if exists.
  • The fundamental theorem of calculus links the velocity and area problems. It enables you to evaluate definite integrals, thereby finding the area between a curve and the x-axis.
  • The fundamental theorem of calculus states that if f is continuous on [a, b] and F is an antiderivative of f on that interval, then

note

A
  • The fundamental theorem of calculus provides a means of evaluating definite integrals. These are the integrals that are associated with calculating areas under curves.
  • A simple example involves calculating the area under the line described by f(x) = x on the interval [0, 3]. Since the region involved is a triangle, you can use the area formula for triangles to arrive at the answer.
  • The calculus technique requires you to evaluate the definite integral of f from 0 to 3.
  • Notice that the constant of integration C cancels with itself.
  • The definite integral produces the same result as the area formula.
  • You can use definite integrals to determine areas of more unusual regions. Here you have the area under a parabola.
  • Set up the definite integral of the function f from 0 to 1 and evaluate it.
  • The fundamental theorem tells you to evaluate the
    antiderivative at 1 and subtract the value of the antiderivative at 0.
  • The area of the region is 1/3.
