Fundamental Theorem Of Calculus (Second Form) - B&S Theorem 7.3.5 .... ....

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on understanding Theorem 7.3.5 from "Introduction to Real Analysis" (Fourth Edition) by Robert G. Bartle and Donald R. Sherbert, specifically the proof involving the Riemann integral. The key inequality derived in the proof is $$( f(c) - \epsilon ) \cdot h \le F( c + h ) - F(c) = \int^{ c + h }_c f \le ( f(c) + \epsilon ) \cdot h$$. Participants clarify that since $$f(c) - \epsilon$$ is less than $$f(x)$$ for all $$x$$ in the interval $$[c, c + h]$$, the inequality holds true. This understanding is confirmed by community members, emphasizing the importance of rigorous proof in real analysis.
