The derivative \( \dfrac{d}{dx}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt \) equals

  • A.\( f'(x) \)
  • B.\( f(x) - f(0) \)
  • C.\( x f(x) \)
  • D.\( f(x) \)

Answer: D

This is the first form of the fundamental theorem: the integral accumulates the function, and differentiating recovers it,

\[ \frac{d}{dx}\int_{0}^{x} f(t)\,dt \;=\; f(x). \]

It is the statement that integration and differentiation are inverse operations, and it is why the accumulated area is an antiderivative for any continuous integrand
