The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus says that the two operations are inverses -- to find the area under the graph of f(x) between a and b, that is, the definite integral F(b)-F(a), find the function g(x) whose derivative is f(x) (that is, find the ''antiderivative'' of f).  The area under the graph of f between x=a and x=b is just g(b)-g(a).
