Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1
TLDRThe video script discusses the first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that the derivative of a definite integral is the integrand evaluated at the upper limit of integration. It explains this concept through examples, showing how to find the derivative of integrals with variable limits by applying the theorem. The examples cover different scenarios, including when the limit of integration is raised to a power, and how the answer can vary depending on the placement of the variable in the integral.
Takeaways
- 📚 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Part 1) is discussed, which states that if g(x) is the definite integral of f(t) from a to x, then the derivative of g(x), g'(x), equals f(x).
- 🔄 The antiderivative of a function is crucial as the derivative of the antiderivative returns the original function.
- 🌟 The first part of the theorem can also be expressed as the derivative of the integral from a to x of f(t) dt equals f(x), with t often replaced by x.
- 🔢 Example problems illustrate the application of the theorem, such as finding the derivative of the integral from 0 to x of the function √(t^2 + 4) dt.
- 📈 The process involves recognizing that the antiderivative of f(t), denoted as F(t), evaluated from 0 to x, is F(x) - F(0), and the derivative of F(x) gives f(x).
- 🤔 The derivative of a constant is zero, which simplifies the process of finding the derivative of the antiderivative.
- 🧩 Another example involves finding the antiderivative of the function √(t^3 + 5) from x to 4, which results in -√(x^3 + 5) after applying the theorem.
- 📊 The examples show that the answer can change depending on the limits of integration and the function involved, and it's not always just f(x).
- 🛠️ The chain rule is used when differentiating composite functions, such as when dealing with functions like √(t^3 - 4) dt with respect to x^2.
- 🔧 The script emphasizes the importance of understanding the process and applying it to various functions and limits to correctly find derivatives of integrals.

Q & A
What is the main concept discussed in the video?
-The main concept discussed in the video is the first part of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that if g(x) is the definite integral of f(t) from a to x, then the derivative of g(x) with respect to x is equal to f(x).
