1. Indefinite Integrals & Basic Rules

Understanding Antiderivatives

An antiderivative F of a function f satisfies F'(x) = f(x). The indefinite integral ∫f(x) dx represents the family of all antiderivatives, which differ by a constant C.

Example 1: Power Rule

Find: ∫x³ dx

Step 1: Apply power rule: ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C

Step 2: n = 3, so n+1 = 4

Answer: x⁴/4 + C

Example 2: Constant Multiple Rule

Find: ∫5x² dx

Step 1: Factor out constant: 5∫x² dx

Step 2: Apply power rule: 5(x³/3) + C

Answer: 5x³/3 + C

Example 3: Sum Rule

Find: ∫(3x² + 2x + 1) dx

Step 1: Integrate each term separately

Step 2: ∫3x² dx + ∫2x dx + ∫1 dx = x³ + x² + x + C

Answer: x³ + x² + x + C
