Suppose f and g have continuous derivatives on an interval [a, b]. Prove that if f(a)=g(a) and f(b)=g(b), then ∫a^b f′(x) dx = ∫a^b g′(x) dx.

Recall the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, which states that if a function h has a continuous derivative on [a, b], then \( \int_a^b h'(x) \, dx = h(b) - h(a) \).
Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to the function \( f \), giving \( \int_a^b f'(x) \, dx = f(b) - f(a) \).
Similarly, apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to the function \( g \), giving \( \int_a^b g'(x) \, dx = g(b) - g(a) \).
Use the given conditions \( f(a) = g(a) \) and \( f(b) = g(b) \) to substitute into the expressions for the integrals.
Conclude that since \( f(b) - f(a) = g(b) - g(a) \), it follows that \( \int_a^b f'(x) \, dx = \int_a^b g'(x) \, dx \), completing the proof.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

This theorem links differentiation and integration, stating that if a function has a continuous derivative on [a, b], then the integral of its derivative over [a, b] equals the difference in the function's values at the endpoints: ∫a^b f'(x) dx = f(b) - f(a).

Properties of Definite Integrals

Definite integrals have linearity and additivity properties, allowing the comparison and manipulation of integrals. If two functions have equal values at the boundaries and continuous derivatives, their integrals of derivatives over the same interval can be equated.

Continuity and Differentiability on Closed Intervals

For the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to apply, functions must be differentiable with continuous derivatives on [a, b]. This ensures the integrals and function values behave predictably, allowing the use of endpoint values to evaluate integrals of derivatives.
