Integrals & FTC Tutor Help

Undo the derivative: antiderivatives rebuild a function from its rate of change. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus turns area problems into antiderivative evaluations — with net area keeping honest count below the axis.

1 Concept recap

The essentials of Antiderivatives & the Definite Integral (FTC), on one screen.

Antiderivative

F with F′ = f. Power rule: ∫ xn dx = xn+1/(n+1) + C (n ≠ −1). Always end with + C.

FTC

∫ab f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a). Differentiation and integration undo each other.

Net area

Above the x-axis counts positive, below counts negative. Total area needs |f| or splitting at zeros.
