Section 4.1 – Antiderivatives
and Indefinite Integration
Reversing Differentiation
We have seen how to use derivatives to solve various
contextual problems. For instance, if the position of a
particle is known, then both the velocity and acceleration
can be calculated by taking a derivative:
s  t   3t 2  5t  7
s '  t   v  t   6t  5
v ' t   a t   6
Position Function
The derivative of the
Position Function is the
Velocity Function
The derivative of the
Velocity Function is the
Acceleration Function
But what if ONLY the acceleration of a particle is known? It
would be useful to determine its velocity or its position at
a particular time. For this case, a derivative is given and
the problem is that of finding the corresponding function.
a  t   32

Function
v ' t   a t 
s ''  t   a  t 
What function has a
derivative of 32?
What function has a
second derivative of 32?
Antiderivative
A function F is called an antiderivative of a
given function f on an interval I if:
F ' x  f  x
for all x in I.
Example:
F  x   1x is an antiderivative of f  x    x12
because F '  x    x12
The Uniqueness of Antiderivatives
Suppose f  x   3x 2 , find an antiderivative of f. That is,

find a function F(x) such that F '  x   3x .
F  x  x

Using the Power Rule in
Reverse
Is this the only function whose derivative is 3x2?
H  x  x  5
K  x   x  11
M  x  x  
H '  x   3x 2
K '  x   3x 2
M '  x   3x 2

There are infinite functions whose derivative is 3x2
whose general form is:

Antiderivatives of the Same Function Differ
by a Constant
If F is an antiderivative of the continuous
function f, then any other antiderivative, G,
of f must have the form:
G  x  F  x  C
In other words, two antiderivatives of the
same function differ by a constant.
Differential Equation
A differential equation is any equation that
contains derivatives. If a question asks you to
“solve a differential equation,” you need to find
the original equation (most answers will be in
the form y=).
Example:
The following is a differential
equation because it contains the
derivative of G:
The general solution
to the differential
equation is:
G ' x  2x
G  x   x2  C
Example 1

the Power Rule, a first
guess might be:

General
Solution:
F  x   x6
Then:
Divide this result by

But:
F '  x   6 x5

F  x   16 x6  C
Example 2

Then:
Divide this result by
4 to get 5x3
