Lesson Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 2 Evaluating definite integrals using antiderivatives — the Evaluation Theorem FTC Part 2 (Evaluation Theorem) If f is continuous on [a,b] and F is any antiderivative of f , then: This is the practical workhorse: to evaluate a definite integral, find an antiderivative and plug in the limits. Find any antiderivative, plug in upper limit, subtract lower limit No +C needed for definite integrals This is why integration formulas matter — they let you evaluate definite integrals quickly
