Suppose F and G are continuously differentiable functions defined on [a, b] such that F'(x) = G'(x) for all x € [a, b].

Suppose F and G are continuously differentiable functions defined on
[a, b] such that F'(x) = G'(x) for all x € [a, b]. Using the fundamental theorem of calculus,
show that F and G differ by a constant. That is, show that there exists a CR such that
F(x) G(x) = C
(Remark: This is justifying the "rule" of adding a constant ff + C to indefinite inte-
gration when you are computing an antiderivative. Make sure to use the right form of the
fundamental theorem of calculus.)
