Stupid questions

<span class="math">\int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = \int_{0}^{b} f(x) dx - \int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx[/spoiler]?
No right? It's been a while since I did calculus.

>>7079189
Wait, it should be, shouldn't it?
Since this is another way of saying
<span class="math">F(a)-F(b) = (F(a)-F(0)) - (F(b)-F(0))[/spoiler]
right?

>> No.7079262

the original post is correct...what is the issue here?

>> No.7079306

When in doubt, think of the chain rule rather than going back to F and risk messing up a sign.

<span class="math">\int_a^b= \int_a^c + \int_c^b = - \int_c^a + \int_c^b[/spoiler] for all a, b and c for which these are defined.
