This ftc practice worksheet for AP Calculus AB covers fundamental theorem of calculus and antiderivatives (Common Core AP CALC AB 6.4, AP CALC AB 6.5, AP CALC AB 6.6, AP CALC AB 6.7, AP CALC AB 6.8), with a free PDF to print.

These 23 problems practice accumulation functions, both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, basic antiderivatives and initial value problems (AP Calculus AB, topics 6.4 to 6.8). The early problems build the basic skill, and each one uses a different function or situation so that no two feel alike.

Later problems use accumulation graphs, chain rule versions of the theorem, initial value problems and situations such as a leaking tank and marginal cost. Work in pencil, show every step, and check the answer key only after a full attempt.

Key facts behind this ftc practice worksheet

Key facts
  • FTC Part 1: d/dx of the integral from a to x of f(t) dt equals f(x).
  • FTC Part 2: the integral from a to b of f equals F(b) – F(a) for any antiderivative F.
  • For an upper limit g(x), multiply by g′(x) (chain rule).
  • Every indefinite integral needs + C; an initial condition determines C.
