# 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 $f'(x) = 2x$

|
|
| $\dfrac{d}{dx} x^n = nx^{x-1}$ | $\int x^n dx = \dfrac{1}{n+1}x^{n+1}+ C$ for $n \ne -1$ |
|
|
| $\dfrac{d}{dx} kx = k$ | $\int k \space dx = kx + C$ |
