Explanation: The sum difference property of definite integrals is $$\int_a^b$$[f(x)-g(x)dx
$$\int_a^b$$[f(x)-g(x)dx = $$\int_a^b$$f(x)dx-$$\int_a^b$$g(x)dx

2. The sum property of definite integrals is $$\int_a^b$$[f(x)+g(x)dx?
a) False
b) True

Explanation: The sum property of definite integrals is $$\int_a^b$$[f(x)+g(x)dx
