Lesson 1.1: Antiderivatives Lesson Summary Indefinite integration is the inverse of differentiation and given this definiton indefinite integration is also called the antidifferentiation.

Express the general form of the antiderivatives of a function. 2. Solve simple differential equations using the integral notation. Motivation Question Given thata function f(x) Is the derivative of F(x), can indefinite integration of f(x) result to F(x)? Discussion Suppose you are given a function (1) FQ) = 427 + 5x +1 ‘And unlike what we used to do in Caloulus for Engineers |, where we find derivatives of functions, we are to find the functon that when differentiated in terms of x, would result to the function given above. Let us name the function that we are looking for as F(x). To summarize the conditions, a (1.2) ah = 1@ Fx) = Anta Se 4d a 2 (3) BPO = at toed To determine this function F (x) we may apply the differentiation process in reverse. To do this, we identify first what type of function the f(x) is. And we know immediately that itis a polynomial. We recall from our discussion in ESci 112 that the derivative of a polynomial is also a polynomial. We further recall that the differentiation rule that we use to determine the derivatives of polynomials is the one that is called the Power Rule (14) Power Rule Let us first describe how we reverse the Power Rule: 1) Add 1 to the exponent. 2) Divide the coefficient by the new exponent (added by 1) Also, according to the Sum Rule of differentiation, the Power Rule must be applied to each of the terms of the F(x). Then in our reverse process we apply the reverse power rule to each of the terms of f(x). a a a (1.5) Gt@ +P] = Fue) +7 v@) Sum Rule We also have a constant term in the polynomial, which would mean that we must recall the Identity Rule.

Also, the function F(x) which resulted from the antidifferentiation of the derivative function f(x) is called an antiderivative of the f(x).

However, we might be missing something. Remember that there is also the Constant Rule: a Cis anarbirary (18) Flcl=0 co (x) may have a constant term which, after differentiation, became zero and, thus, not apparent when we only have the derivative function as basis. We lack data to determine this constant exactly. F(x) may be any of the three below: 44,5 qxitpet tat) aera Say Se get pe te 4 ay Sya geet pet tees ‘Try differentiating the three expressions above and you will find out that each of these three expressions has the same derivative, which is equal to f(x). It is then apparent that this constant term may be any number on the real number line including zero, Therefore, the number of antiderivatives of f(x) is infinite, from the negative to the positive infinity. To represent all the possible antiderivatives of f (x), we will use an arbitrary ‘constant that could stand for any possible value of the constant, We let this arbitrary constant be C and add this to F(x). The resulting exoression is the general form of antiderivative of a f(x). 4 (o) ew ateaSterec Family of antiderivatives of 2 the function f(x) General Form of Antiderivatives of a aU .

The necessity ‘of acding C to define the general form of antiderivatives of a function shows the uncertainty of antidifferentiation. Hence, antidifferentiation is also called indefinite integration. And, in turn, the general form of entiderivative of a function is called the indefinite integral.

A differential equation is an equation that involves a function and its derivatives. Other examples of differential equation are the following: Een Solve the differential equation of y’ = 4x. First, we need to identify a function whose derivative is In-z. By reversing power rule, we conclude that sex = 4x Therefore, 2x? is an antiderivative if 4x and y= 202 isa solution of y' = 4x. Then applying Theorem 1.1, the general solution of the differential equation y' = 4x is y= 2x46 The graphs of some of the members of the farrily of solutions for the differential equation y' = 4x is shown in Figure 1. Itmay be observed in Figure 1 that the functions shown are the same parabola but at different locations depending on the value of C. We recall that the derivative of a function describes its instantaneous rate of change. Derivative describes how a function is sensitive to small changes of the domain, x. This tells that functions having the same derivative may be at different parts of the cartesian plane but how much their y changes at certain values of x is the same. ys2e?+5, C=5 y=2x242; C=2 ys 2x; c=0 y=2?-2) C=-2 Figure 1.

And in the case of Equation (1.14), the differential of the function y that would solve the equation must be equal to f(x)dx.

Learning Outcome Derive integration formulas from differentiation formulas. Motivation Question Is it possible to derive all indefinite integration formulas directly from differentiation formulas? Discussion In previous section, indefinite integration was introduced as the inverse of differentiation. This relationship between indefinite integration and differentiation is demonstrated by the following formulas. [rod = rose Jaro = rac A row] In Differential Calculus a set of differentiation rules has been repeatedly used as part of the calculations. Listed in the tables below are the common integration formulas. How these integration formulas are derived from the differentiation rules are also shown. FO)+C Table 1. TDFIF for Constant of integration or any constant a slel=0 Differentiation Formula or ‘The formulas above show why indefinite integrals are called as such. Basing merely on the zeroed term, the best guess of indefinite integration is that it must be a constant. There is a way to pinpoint a value for that arbitrary constant. And that is with the help of initial conditions. These conditions describe the state of the input x and output y values at the start of the scenario of the problem being solved, This is an example of an initial condition y(0) =m.
