Let a,b,cRa,b,c\in\mathbb{R} satisfy abca\le b\le c, and let f:[a,c]Rf:[a,c]\to\mathbb{R} be \reftext{def:riemann-integrable-closed-interval-c54-2026b}{Riemann integrable} on [a,c][a,c]. Then the restrictions f[a,b]:[a,b]Rf|_{[a,b]}:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} and f[b,c]:[b,c]Rf|_{[b,c]}:[b,c]\to\mathbb{R} are Riemann integrable on [a,b][a,b] and [b,c][b,c], respectively, and

acf(t)dt=abf(t)dt+bcf(t)dt.\int_a^c f(t)\,dt = \int_a^b f(t)\,dt + \int_b^c f(t)\,dt.

In particular,

acf(t)dtabf(t)dt=bcf(t)dt.\int_a^c f(t)\,dt - \int_a^b f(t)\,dt = \int_b^c f(t)\,dt.
