Work Step by Step

Given $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)=0$$ Since \begin{aligned} \int_0^{\infty} f^{\prime}(x) d x=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \int_0^t f^{\prime}(x) d x, \end{aligned} by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: \begin{aligned} \lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} \int_0^t f^{\prime}(x) d x&=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty}[f(t)-f(0)]\\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} f(t)-f(0)\\ &=0-f(0)\\ &=-f(0) \end{aligned}
