What is the rage of change of the area function?

\[g(x) = \int_a^x f(t)\;dt\]

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1:

If \(f\) is continuous on \([a,b]\) then for every \(c\) in \([a,b]\) the function

\[g(x) = \int_c^x f(t)\;dt\]

is defined on \([a,b]\) and differentiable on \((a,b)\), with

\[g'(x) = f(x)\]

for every \(x\) in \((a,b)\).

What if we accumulate changes?

\[\int_a^b f'(x) \; dx\]

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 2:

If \(f\) is continuous on \([a,b]\) and has continuous derivative on \(( a,b )\) then

\[\int_a^b f'(x)\;dx = f(b) - f(a)\]

Integrating the rate of change gives us the total change.
