4.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Evaluate a definite integral using the Fundamental theorem of Calculus. Understand and us the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals. Find the average value of a function over a closed interval. Understand and use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
2
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus relates differentiation and integration. Informally, the theorem states that differentiation and integration are inverse operations. Differentiation: Slope of tangent line = Δy/Δx Definite integration: Area under curve = ΔyΔx

∫ f(x)dx = F(b) – F(a) Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
If a function f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and F is an antiderivative of f on the interval [a,b], then ∫ f(x)dx = F(b) – F(a) Proof
4
Guidelines for using Fundamental Thm. Of Calculus
If you can find an antiderivative of f, you can now evaluate a definite integral without the limit process!!! Use the following notation It is not necessary to include a constant of integration C in the antiderivative because
