Properties Of The Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus

All of the following statements about the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus are true EXCEPT:

  1. A.

    The definite integral $$\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx$$ is equal to $$F(a)-F(b)$$, where $$F(x)$$ is any antiderivative of $$f(x)$$.

  2. B.

    If $$F'(x)=f(x)$$ for all x in [a, b] and $$f(x)$$ is continuous on [a, b], then $$\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = F(b)-F(a)$$.
