Explain clearly how the fundamental theorem of calculus helps to evaluate integrals and leads to the second fundamental theorem of calculus.
The first fundamental theorem of calculus says that the derivative of an integral function is the integrand function. Thus, the integral function itself is equivalent to any antiderivative of the integrand function. This leads us to the second fundamental theorem of calculus which explains how to evaluate definite integrals by finding the antiderivative, and subtracting the antiderivative evaluated from a to b - (in subtraction the constant is cancelled out.)
