The Net Change Theorem

The net change theorem says that

$$\int_a^b F'(x)\, dx = F(b) - F(a)$$

In other words, the net change in a function is the (definite) integral of its derivative.

In particular, the net distance traveled (final position minus initial position) is the integral of velocity. The net change in velocity (final velocity minus initial velocity) is the integral of acceleration.
