 Mean Value Theorem for Integrals If $f(x)f(x)$ is continuous over an interval $[a,b],[a,b],$ then there is at least one point $c∈[a,b]c∈[a,b]$ such that $f(c)=1b−a∫abf(x)dx.f(c)=1b−a∫abf(x)dx.$ Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1 If $f(x)f(x)$ is continuous over an interval $[a,b],[a,b],$ and the function $F(x)F(x)$ is defined by $F(x)=∫axf(t)dt,F(x)=∫axf(t)dt,$ then $F′(x)=f(x).F′(x)=f(x).$ Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 2 If f is continuous over the interval $[a,b][a,b]$ and $F(x)F(x)$ is any antiderivative of $f(x),f(x),$ then $∫abf(x)dx=F(b)−F(a).∫abf(x)dx=F(b)−F(a).$
