CHAPTER Continuity Fundamental Theorem of Calculus In this lecture you will learn the most important relation between derivatives and areas (definite integrals).
Evaluating Theorem If f is continuous on the interval [a,b], then a b f (x) dx = F (b) – F (a) where F is any antiderivative of f, that is, F’ = f.
Example Evaluate 0 1 ( y 9 + 2y 5 + 3y ) dy.
f (x) dx = F (x) means F’ (x) = f (x) Indefinite Integrals: You should distinguish carefully between definite and indefinite integrals. A definite integral b a f (x) dx is a number, whereas an indefinite integral f (x) dx is a function.
Table of Indefinite Integrals c f (x) dx = c f (x) dx [ f (x) + g(x)]dx = f (x) dx + g(x)dx x n dx = (x n+1 ) / (n+1) + C (n -1) a x dx = (a x ) / (ln a) + C e x dx = e x + C (1/x) dx = ln |x| + C

Example Find the general indefinite integral for (cos x – 2 sin x) dx.
Example Find the general indefinite integral for: [ x /(x 2 + 1)] dx.
Evaluating Theorem If f is continuous on the interval [a,b], then a b f (x) dx = F (b) – F (a) where F is any antiderivative of f, that is, F’ = f.
