is the indefinite integral of f(x) with respect to x. Each function has more than one antiderivative (actually infinitely many) Derivative of: The antiderivatives vary by a constant!
General Solution for an Indefinite Integral You will lose points if you forget dx or + C!!! Where c is a constant
Find: You can always check your answer by differentiating!
Evaluate: C represents any constant
Particular Solutions and F(1) = 0
