1.8.6 Area between two curves

What equation confirms that F(x)F(x)F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x)f(x)f(x)?

A

If f(x)≥g(x)f(x)\ge g(x)f(x)≥g(x) on [a,b][a,b][a,b], the area between them is A=∫ab(f(x)−g(x)) dx\boxed{\displaystyle A=\int_a^b\left(f(x)-g(x)\right)\,dx}A=∫ab​(f(x)−g(x))dx​.

B

111 square unit

C

223\dfrac{22}{3}322​ square units

D

F′(x)=f(x)F'(x)=f(x)F′(x)=f(x)
