How do you expect anyone to be able to answer your question when
you have provided no details as to you you defined f?
Does it help to have a working example? That is,
In[12]:= f = 2 x + 1;
NIntegrate[f, {x, 0, 1}]
Out[13]= 2.
In[14]:= g[x_] := Sin[x]
In[15]:= NIntegrate[g[x], {x, 0, \[Pi]/4}]
Out[15]= 0.292893
