Proposition (First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) If first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_15.gif] is a continuous function on the interval first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_16.gif] and first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_17.gif] is any anitderivative of first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_18.gif] throughout the interval first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_19.gif] then

first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_20.gif]

    The hypothesis of the first fundamental theorem should not be overlooked; for example, if we apply the first fundamental theorem to evaluate

first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_21.gif]  

then we obtain something which is obviously not true since first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_22.gif] is never negative. Since first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_23.gif] is not continuous on first fundamental theorem of calculus _gr_24.gif] the first fundamental theorem should not be used.
