Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
If f is continuous on [ ],a b , and ( ) ( )x
a
F x f t dt = , then
( ) ( )'F x f x= on [ ],a b .
Example 1: Evaluate 5

Even though the upper limit of integration is a variable, we can use The Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus to evaluate this, since ( ) 512f t t= is a continuous function on any
interval. We have

Example 2: If ( ) ( )2
2
cosx
F x t dt = , find ( )'F x .
Solution: In order to use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus one of the
limits of integration has to be a single variable, not the variable squared.
Therefore, we are going to manipulate the problem to a form that lets us
use the theorem.
Let ( ) 2u x x= , and rewrite ( ) ( )2

Solution: In order to use the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus one of the

manipulate the problem in to a form that lets us use the theorem.

Example 4: If ( )2

x
F x t dt = , compute ( )'F x .
Solution: In this case, both the upper and lower limit of integration are variables,
and we cannot apply The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Therefore, we do what we usually do, rewrite the problem in an equivalent
form that will allow us to use the theorem.

You might say, I like the second approach because it is less complicated. Sometimes the
second way is not possible. See the next example.

ln 4x
F x t dt = + , find the equation of the tangent
line at 2x= .
Solution: The slope, ( )' 2F , can be calculated using The Second Fundamental
Theorem of Calculus.

The point of tangency is ( )( )2, 2F where ( ) ( )4

Here is another example where the easiest way to solve it is to use The Second
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Proof of The Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
If f is continuous on [ ],a b , and ( ) ( )x
a
F x f t dt = , then
( ) ( )'F x f x= on [ ],a b .

Look very carefully at the term ( )1

. It is the average value of the function

By the Mean Value Theorem, ( ) ( )1

Since c is between andx x h+ , we have c x as 0h .
Since f is continuous, it follows that ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )0 0
