2 The Indefinite Integral

Definition: A function is called an antiderivative of a function on a given open interval if
for all in the interval.

Theorem: If is any antiderivative of on an open interval, then for any constant the
function is also an antiderivative on that interval. Moreover, each antiderivative of
on an interval can be expressed in the form of by choosing the constant
appropriately.

Example:

Show that the given function is the antiderivative of .
