Use the FundamentalTheoremto find the derivativeof the followingfunction:
Solution:
In this example,the integralis moredifficult to evaluate.The FundamentalTheoremenablesus to find the

LessonSummary
- We usedthe FundamentalTheoremof Calculusto evaluatedefiniteintegrals.
FundamentalTheoremof Calculus
Let be continuouson the closedinterval
- If function is definedby , on then on
- If is any antiderivativeof on then
We first note that we havealreadyprovenpart 2 as Theorem4.1.
Proofof Part 1.
- Consider on
