1. Antiderivative/
Indefinite Integral

2. Find all possible functions
F(x) whose derivative is
f(x) = 2x+1
F(x) =
x2 + x
F(x) = x2 + x + 5
F(x) = x2 + x -1000
F(x) = x2 + x + 1/8
F(x) = x2 + x - π

3. Definition
A function F is called an antiderivative (also an
indefinite integral) of a function f in the
interval I if
F '(x) f (x)
for every value x in the interval I.
The process of finding the antiderivative of a
given function is called antidifferentiation or
integration.

4. Find all antiderivatives
F(x) of f(x) = 2x+1
F(x) =
x2 + x
F(x) = x2 + x + 5
F(x) = x2 + x -1000
F(x) = x2 + x + 1/8
F(x) = x2 + x - π
In fact, any function of the form F(x) =
x2 + x + c where c is a constant is an
antiderivative of 2x + 1

5. Theorem
If F is a particular antiderivative of f on an
interval I, then every antiderivative of f on I
is given by
F(x) c
where c is an arbitrary constant, and all the
antiderivatives of f on I can be obtained by
assigning particular values for c. .

6. Notation
4 The symbol denotes the operation of
antidifferentiation, and we write
f (x)dx F(x) c
where F’(x)=f(x), and c is an arbitrary constant.
This is read “The indefinite integral of f(x)
with respect to x is F(x) + c".

7. In this notation,
is the integral sign;
c
f(x) is the integrand;
dx is the differential of x which denotes
the variable of integration; and
is called the constant of integration.
4 If the antiderivative of the function on interval
I exists, we say that the function is integrable
over the interval I.
f (x)dx F(x) c

8. Integration Rules
1. Constant Rule. If k is any real number, then
the indefinite integral of k with respect to x is
kdx kx C
2. Coefficient Rule. Given any real number
coefficient a and integrable function f,
af (x)dx a f (x)dx

9. Integration Rules
n
3. Sum and Difference Rule. For integrable
functions f and g,
[ f1(x) f2 (x)]dx f1(x)dx f2 (x)dx
4. Power Rule. For any real number n,
where n ≠ -1, the indefinite integral xn of is,
xn 1
x dx C
n 1

Indefinite Integrals
1. Graphing
Given the sketch of the graph of the function,
together with some function values, we
can sketch the graph of its antiderivative
as long as the antiderivative is
continuous.

15. Example 4. Given the sketch of the function f
=F’(x) below, sketch the possible graph of F if it is
continuous, F(-1) = 0 and F(-3) = 4.

17. 1. Boundary/Initial Valued Problems
There are many applications of indefinite integrals
in different fields such as physics, business,
economics, biology, etc.
These applications usually desire to find particular
antiderivatives that satisfies certain conditions
called initial or boundary conditions, depending
on whether they occur on one or more than one
point.

20. The Differential Equations
Equation containing a function and its derivative or justits
derivative is called differential equations.
Applications occur in many diverse fields such as physics,
chemistry, biology, psychology, sociology, business,
economics etc.
The order of a differential equation is the order of the
derivative of highest order that appears in the equation.
The function f defined by y= f(x) is a solution of a
differential equation if y and its derivatives satisfy the
equation.

22. If each side of the differential equations
involves only one variable or can be
reduced in this form, then, we say that these
are separable differential equations.
Complete solution (or general solution)
y = F(x) + C

given
