Antiderivatives

An antiderivative is useful when you know the rate of change, and you want to find a point from that rate of change

A function F is said to be an antiderivative of f if F'(x) = f(x)

Examples

Find the antiderivative of the function y = x^2

1. We know that f'(x) = 2x^1

Formulas

Differentiation Formula	Integration Formula
\dfrac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{x-1}	\int x^n dx = \dfrac{1}{n+1}x^{n+1}+ C for n \ne -1
\dfrac{d}{dx} kx = k	\int k \space dx = kx + C
\dfrac{d}{dx} \ln \|x\| = \dfrac{1}{x}
\dfrac{d}{dx} e^x = e^x
$\dfrac{d]{dx} a^x = \ln$
