If f is continuous on the closed interval [a,b] and F is an antiderivative of f on the interval [a,b], then
Some Notes
Provided you can find the antiderivative of f you can now find the definite integral without limits. (YAY!)
Notation:
You don’t need the constant of integration:

The mean value theorem states that somewhere “between” the two there is a rectangle whose area is precisely equal to the area of the region under the curve.
