Question

To prove Theorem 1, (that If F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I, then the most general antiderivative of f on I is F(x) + C) let F and G be any two antiderivatives of f on I and let H = G - F.

(a) If x1 and x2 are any two numbers in I with x1 less than x2, apply the Mean Value Theorem on the interval [x1, x2] to show that H(x1) = H(x2). Why does this show that H is a constant function?

(b) Deduce Theorem 1 from the result of part (a).
