FUNDAMENTAL
THEOREM OF
CALCULUS
a fundamental concept in calculus that connects integration
and differentiation.
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus has two parts.
- Part 1 states that if a function is continuous on an interval and
has an antiderivative, then the definite integral of the function
over that interval can be evaluated using the antiderivative.
- Part 2 of the theorem states that if a function is continuous on
an interval, then the derivative of the definite integral of the
function with respect to x is equal to the original function.

WHAT DEFINITE INTEGRAL?
A definite integral represents the accumulation of a
quantity over a specific interval. It is denoted by ∫[a, b]
f(x) dx, where f(x) is the function to be integrated and
[a, b] represents the interval of integration.
Example: Consider the definite integral ∫[a, b] x2 dx,
where x2 is the function to be integrated over the
interval [a, b].

STATEMENT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF
CALCULUS
PART 1 PART 2
• If f(x) is continuous on • If f(x) is continuous on
[a, b] and F(x) is an [a, b], then the function
antiderivative of f(x), g(x) = ∫[a, x] f(t) dt is
then ∫[a, b] f(x) dx = F(b) continuous on [a, b] and
- F(a). differentiable on (a, b),
and g'(x) = f(x).

Area Under the Curve
EXAMPLE
Example of evaluating a definite integral using
the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
- Consider the definite integral ∫[1, 3] 2x dx.
- Solution:
- Find the antiderivative of 2x, which is x2.
- Evaluate the antiderivative at the limits of
integration: F(3) - F(1).
- Subtract the values to obtain the result.

INTRODUCTION TO FINDING THE AREA UNDER THE
CURVE USING DEFINITE INTEGRALS:
- The area under a curve represents the
accumulated area between the curve
and the x-axis over a specific interval.
- It can be calculated using definite
integrals.

Area Under the Curve
Example of finding the area under a curve:
Consider the curve y = x2 between x = 0 and x = 2.
Solution:
- Divide the area into small rectangles.
- Find the area of each rectangle using the formula: Area = base * height.
- Sum up the areas of all the rectangles to obtain the total area under the
curve.
- Find the antiderivative of 2x, which is x2
- Evaluate the antiderivative at the limits of integration: F(3) - F(1).
- Subtract the values to obtain the result.
