4.0 INTRODUCTION
Definition:
• A function F is called an antiderivative of a function f on a
given interval I if F’(x) = f(x) for all x in the interval
f ( x)dx = F ( x) + C
The expression f ( x)dx - an indefinite integral.
“Indefinite” == the result of anti-differentiation is a
“generic” function, described only up to a constant
term.
