Example Question #176 : Indefinite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The anti-derivative of  is simply .  This is the perfect function that no matter if you take the derivative or the anti-derivative, it always returns back the original function.  The integral of the constant returns the constant multiplied by the integration variable.  Then, since this is an indefinite integral, we must include the integration constant, 

Example Question #177 : Indefinite Integrals

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The indefinite integral is a reverse chain rule.  Remember, anti-derivatives are the exact opposite of the derivative of this function.  So, let's start there:

Therefore, to undo this answer, we would have to get rid of the negative sign and divide by the chain rule part.  We also add our integration constant.  You would get the same result (but longer time) if you used u-substitution.
