Even though an antideritvative of 
does not exist, we can still use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to "cancel out" the integral sign in this expression.
. Start
. You can "cancel out" the integral sign with the derivative by making sure the lower bound of the integral is a constant, the upper bound is a differentiable function of 
, 
, and then substituting 
in the integrand. Lastly the Theorem states you must multiply your result by 
(similar to the directions in using the chain rule).

The graph of a function 
is drawn below. Select the best answers to the following:
What is the best interpretation of the function?
Which plot shows the derivative of the function 
?
The graph of a function
The function 
represents the area under the curve 
from 
to some value of 
.
Do not be confused by the use of 
in the integrand. The reason we use 
is because are writing the area as a function of 
, which requires that we treat the upper limit of integration as a variable 
. So we replace the independent variable of 
with a dummy index 
when we write down the integral. It does not change the fundamental behavior of the function 
or 
.
The graph of the derivative of 
is the same as the graph for 
. This follows directly from the Second Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
If the function 
is continuous on an interval 
containing

Here we could use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate the definite integral; however, that might be difficult and messy.
Instead, we make a clever observation of the graph of
Namely, that
This means that the values of the graph when comparing x and -x are equal but opposite. Then we can conclude that
