Problem

Suppose FF and GG are continuously differentiable functions defined on [a,b][a,b] such that F′(x)=G′(x)F'(x) = G'(x) for all x∈[a,b]x \in [a,b]. Using the fundamental theorem of calculus, show that FF and GG differ by a constant. That is, show that there exists a C∈RC \in \mathbb{R} such that F(x)−G(x)=CF(x) - G(x) = C.
