Work Step by Step

FTC: Let $f$ be a continuous function defined on the interval $[a, b]$, and let $F$ be any antiderivative of f defined on $[a, b]$. Then $\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx=\left[F(x)\right]_{a}^{b}=F(b)-F(a)$. ----------------- First, find an antiderivative $F(x)$: $\displaystyle \int(4x^{3}-3x^{2}+4x-1)dx=\frac{4x^{4}}{4}-\frac{3x^{3}}{3}+\frac{4x^{2}}{2}-x+C$ $=x^{4}-x^{3}+2x^{2}-x+C=$ (we take C=0, since by FTC we need ANY antiderivative) $F(x)=x^{4}-x^{3}+2x^{2}-x$ Next, evaluate: $F(1)=1-1+2-1=1$ $F(0)=0$ Finally, apply the theorem: $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}(4x^{3}-3x^{2}+4x-1)dx=F(1)-F(0)$ $=1-0$ $=1$
