The fundamental theorem of calculus says first that if is continuous on and , then . Indeed,whose absolute value tends to zero by continuity. Consequently, if is differentiable with continuous derivative, applying the first part to shows that has zero derivative and is constant. Hence
A derivative need not be Riemann integrable. Define and for . Then is differentiable at zero with , while for ,which is unbounded near zero. Since every Riemann-integrable function on a compact interval is bounded, need not be Riemann integrable.
