Factors

c.

f.

Integrals

Solution

The two fundamental concepts of calculus that are inverses of each other are:

e. Derivatives
f. Integrals

Explanation

In calculus, the derivative of a function gives the rate at which the function is changing at any given point, while the integral of a function provides the accumulation of quantities, which can be thought of as the area under the curve of the function. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus establishes that these two operations are inverses of each other.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

  1. First part: If FF is an antiderivative of ff on an interval [a,b][a, b], then abf(x)dx=F(b)F(a)\int_a^b f(x) \, dx = F(b) - F(a)
  2. Second part: If ff is continuous on [a,b][a, b], then the function FF defined by F(x)=axf(t)dtF(x) = \int_a^x f(t) \, dt for xx in [a,b][a, b], is continuous on [a,b][a, b], differentiable on (a,b)(a, b), and F(x)=f(x)F'(x) = f(x).

Tip: When solving calculus problems, understanding the relationship between derivatives and integrals can help simplify complex problems by converting between rates of change and accumulated quantities.
