Introductory Message

Welcome to Senior High School Grade 11 Mathematics (Basic Calculus).

The Basic Calculus Learning Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative

efforts of the Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI – Western Visayas
through the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed
to guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents, and responsible adults) in helping
our learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The Learning Activity Sheet is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide our learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist learners in acquiring the
lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and employment.

For the learning facilitator:

The Learning Activity Sheet will help you facilitate the teaching-learning
activities specified in each Most Essential Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-
to-face encounter between you and learner. This will be made available to the learners
with the references/links to ease the independent learning.

For the learner:

The Learning Activity Sheet is developed to help you continue learning even if
you are not in school. This learning material provides you with meaningful and engaging
activities for independent learning. Being an active learner, carefully read and
understand the instructions then perform the activities and answer the assessments.
This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed schedule.

BASIC CALCULUS LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

Illustrating an antiderivative of a function

I. Learning Competency with Code

Illustrates an antiderivative of a function (STEM _BC11I-IVa-1)

II. Background Information for Learners’ Generalizations

In the previous modules, we presented derivatives of several functions along

with their real life applications such as related rates.

Supposing the derivative (or differential) of a function is given, the function can
be determined using the process which is the inverse of differentiation called
antidifferentiation.

Given a function 𝑓, we are to find a function 𝐹 whose derivative is 𝑓. This

function 𝐹 the antiderivative of the function 𝑓.

We state this formally in the following definition:

A function 𝐹 is an antiderivative of the function 𝑓 if and only if
𝐹 ′ (𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥), for all 𝑥 in the domain of 𝑓.

If is an antiderivative of , then every antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥) is

of the form , where C is any constant.

The symbol is called the integral sign. The function to be integrated is

called the integrand and is found inside the integral sign. The integral sign
always goes with the differential. Without it, the operation will be meaningless.
The differential indicates the variable with respect to which the
antidifferentiation is to be carried out.

Antidifferentiation is more commonly known as integration. The

expression is read as “the integral of 𝑓(𝑥 )𝑑𝑥” and is interpreted as

the antiderivative of 𝑓 (𝑥 ).

Example 8

The function is an antiderivative of since

.

Example 9

The function is an antiderivative of since

.

To evaluate , we have to find all antiderivatives of the integrand

. This means that we have to find all functions that have −5 as
their derivative.
To obtain these functions, we just need one antiderivative, and then add
an arbitrary constant to it.

Hence, .

We are assured that this answer is correct since the derivative of a

constant is just zero.

Example 10

The function is an antiderivative of since

.

To evaluate , we have to find all antiderivatives of the integrand

. This means that we have to find all functions that have
as their derivative.
To obtain these functions, we just need one antiderivative, and then add
an arbitrary constant to it.

Hence, . However, since the sum of 1 and another

constant is still a constant, we can simplify the answer into
.

We are assured that this answer is correct since the derivative of a

constant is just zero.
