Question

Using \[F\] as an antiderivative, how is \[\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx\] evaluated?

Options

• \[F(b)-F(a)\]

• \[F(a)+F(b)\]

• \[F(x)+C\]

• \[F(a)-F(b)\]

Answer 1

A definite integral is evaluated using \[F(b)-F(a)\]. The value at the lower limit is subtracted from the value at the upper limit.
