5.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Theorem 3 from Section 5.2 tells us that, if f is continuous on [a, b]andif f has an
antiderivative F on [ a , b], then

This equation is the first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In this
section, we learn that every continuous function f has an antiderivative. This fact
constitutes the second part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
In the analytic proof of the second part of the Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus, we assume only that f is a continuous function. However, we will motivate
this theorem geometrically by considering areas. Therefore for the purposes of this
discussion, we suppose that f is positive in addition to being continuous. To this
function f we associate an area function F that is defined by

Figure 1 shows the graph of y 5 f (t) in the ty-plane. As Figure 1 indicates, the value
of F (x) is the area of the region that lies below the graph of f, above the t-axis, and
between the vertical lines t 5 a and t 5 x. Notice that F is a function of the upper
limit x of integration, not of the symbol t that appears within the integral. Also, we
do not assume that an explicit formula for F (x) can be found. It is known, for
example, that the area function FðxÞ5

terms of finitely many elementary functions. It is precisely such area functions that
we wish to understand.
The main result of this section is that F is an antiderivative of f. In other words,
F is a differentiable function and F

definition of the derivative and look at the difference quotient:
