Consider a real function of real variable
For every
and then for any
Based on the additivity of the integral:
Now, the mean value theorem ensures that there is a point
and then:
If we now let
which by definition of derivative means that:
We can conclude that:
that is the differentiation is the reciprocal of the integration, and symmetrically, if the function
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus tells us so.
The FTM I states that:
If
# F(x)=int _{a}^{x} \ f(t) \ dt#
Then,
# F'(x) = f(x) #
(ie the derivative of an antiderivative of an integrand is the same as the initial integrand)
