    The first part of the fundamental theorem of calculus tells us that if we define _(_) to be the definite integral of function Ä from some constant _ to _, then _ is an antiderivative of Ä. In other words, _'(_)=Ä(_). See why this is so. Created by Sal Khan.

I had no idea how the heck an infinite sum could be connected so directly to a derivative, and I didn't imagine it would be so simple. Now I finally understand better where this comes from and I'm so happy about that. Thank you so much Sal!

    Well both t and x are placeholders for numbers that lie on the interval [a,b]. What the theorem says is that F' and f always have the same value when you evaluate them at the same number. The main reason that t is used instead of x in the integral is because there x is used as a fixed point denoting the upper bound of the integral and we must integrate with respect to a variable. Just as easily we could have written F(t) = integral from a to t of f(x)dx.

    For all intents and purposes, x in the theorem represents any t value provided it's between some continuous region in f(t).
    F'(t) = f(t) would be a way you would express that if you knew the whole function beyond 'a' (in both directions) is continuous. It would be more confusing getting to that result expressing the integrals in the proof this way however.
    The statement is true if the whole function is continuous as it says we get f(t) from the derivative of the antiderivative (now) for all t

    I always thought of the point at which the line is tangent to a function as a kind of tinny little top to a trapezoid, and if we added up every little area for each trapezoid we would get the area within that interval. I guess what this is saying is that if we have an area as a function and we take the derivative, the y value f(x) is the slope of the top of our little trapezoid at x. I know it is saying more, but I am trying to picture this out loud any thoughts would be helpful.

    • @2funky4u88
      @2funky4u88 4 года назад

      the integral equals the anti-derivative evaluated at the endpoints e.g. F(b)-F(a) so yeah it does depend, but only on the actual evaluation of the area. If you are just looking for the anti derivative of a function it would be F(x).

But anyways, great video 👍

    I have a question.
    In your proof, you used the mean value theorem for integrals and then proved that the value of t with the mean height approaches x as delta x-> 0, but I noticed that as delta x-> 0, the size of the interval [x, x + delta x] also approaches 0. So if the size of the interval approaches 0, can't we say that the area under the curve on the interval [x, x +delta x] approaches to the area of a rectangle whose base is delta x, and height is f(x)? That path would reach the same conclusions, and would also prove the fundamental theorem of calculus, but it is faster.

    • @mashedpotatoez99
      @mashedpotatoez99 4 года назад +5

      there is an antiderivative. It's just not "elementary" in the sense that it cannot be written using polynomials, trigonometric functions, logarithms, exponentials, inverse trig functions, hyperbolic trig etc. Notice that there is a very big difference between asking "does f(x) have an antiderivative" vs "does f(x) have an elemetary/simple anti derivative". The fundamental theorem of calculus proves to you that EVERY continuous function $f$ has an antiderivative, but it says nothing about whether the result can be then expressed using such familiar functions.

    @JavierBonillaC 8 месяцев назад

    Finally, after watching this video 10 times I think I know what the source of all (my) confusion was. In my humble opinion it is bad nomenclature or lack of explanation of the nomenclature. f(t) is a function. f(c) and f(x) are representations for the f(t) function when t=c and when t=x respectively. They are not new functions in themselves. It is pretty strange to see t as something that has undetermined (variable) values and then look at f(x) and f(c) as specific values. Am I right or am I missing the forest for the tree or viceversa?

    I'm a little confused, if we can prove F'(x)=f(x) for the function f(t) does that mean when we take a definite integral normally we should change the variable, technically?

    • @paulwang7229
      @paulwang7229 7 лет назад +2

      The thing is like fist of all you have a function f(t) on a closed interval [a,b]. You define a NEW function F(x)="integral from a to x "f(t)dt (imagine i've got the integral sign right there). This F(x) is related to f(t) by the fact that it represents the area under f(t) and a horizontal "t-axis" between a and x on f(t).
      Now this F(x) is itself a function with respect to x: for each x we choose in the interval [a,b], we get a distinct "area under curve" value out of F(x). Bear in mind that F(x) is itself a function w.r.t. x and has its own graph. We now try to find the derivative of F(x). The fundamental theorem of Cal tells us that this F'(x) equals f(x).
      So what is f(x)? I remember seeing a f(t), but where does this f(x) come from?Now try to recall what we first learned when we studied functions: the letters we use to represent variables does not matter. If I have a function g(x)=cosx, then this means the same thing as "g(t)=cost". It's not the x or t that makes you recognize the function. Rather, it's the "g" in front of it. You see that g, and you know it stands for cos in this case. If you put g(k), then it's cosk; if you put g(party hats), then it's "cos (party hats)"(as long as "party hats" represent a variable).
      Returning to the problem at hand. We know F'(x)=f(x). Also, we have an expression of f(t). Let's say f(t)=ln(arcsin t). Then what's f(x)? We know the letters do not matter. Everywhere we see t, we replace it with x. So we have f(x)=ln(arcsin x). Therefore, F'(x)=ln(arcsin x)------a nice and pretty derivative expression that we should be family with.
      So to directly answer your question, no, we don't change variables. The "identity" of a function is its expression. What letters we use is irrelevant. They might look different, but x, t, k, and party hats in fact stand for the same thing.

      The graph is using t on the horizontal axis. F(x) = area under the curve f(t) from t=a to t=x on the horizontal axis. So instead of a definite integral from some constant 'a' to another constant 'b', we have a fixed 'a' and a variable end 'x'.
      f(x) = F'(x) -the derivative of F(x)

    I feel insane since the comments are all expressing support of this video. This is not a proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus. This is surely the first step, but this is absolutely incomplete.
    Edit: Oh it’s because he calls this the first fundamental theorem and the full one the second fundamental theorem of calculus. That’s historically inaccurate, but my fault regardless 😂

    How would integrals be solved without knowing the fundamental theorem? They always teach integrals as the inverse process of derivatives.
