<statement>
The <statement>
element renders the main content of block such as theorem-like and example-link elements.
It separates the main content from other parts, such as <proof>
, <solution>
, or <hint>
.

<theorem>
<title>The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus</title>
<statement>
<p>
If <m>f(x)</m> is continuous,
and the derivative of <m>F(x)</m> is <m>f(x)</m>, then
<me>
\definiteintegral{a}{b}{f(x)}{x}=F(b)-F(a)
</me>.
</p>
</statement>
<proof>

<example>
<title>Differentiating a polynomial</title>
<statement>
<p>
Differentiate the function <m>f(x) = 3x^5-7x+5</m>.
</p>
</statement>
<solution>
<p>
We use the power, sum,
and constant multiple rules and find that the derivative
is <m>f'(x) = 15x^4-7</m>.
</p>
</solution>
