Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

 

  1. The Mean Value Theorem For Integrals

    Let f be continuous on [a,b] then there is a c in [a,b] such that

     

     

    We define the average value of f(x) between a and b as

    Average Value =

     

    Example: 

    The average value of 

            sin(x) 

    between 0 and p is

           


  2. The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

    Let f be continuous on [a,b] then

    Proof:

    If then

    The average value theorem states that this integral is equal to

           

    for some value between x and x + h. Taking the limit produced

            f(c)

    Example:

           

     Let

           
     

    and 

            u
    = x2 

    then
