1. Anti-derivatives.
Indefinite Integrals
By the end of this lesson you will be able to:
• Understand the integration process as the
reverse process of differentiation.
• Calculate the integrals of powers of x and any
linear combination of them.

2. f is a function whose derivative is f '(x) = 2 x
then f(x) =
or f(x) =
or f(x) =
in general f(x) =
f is the antiderivative of f '

3. The set of all the antiderivatives of a function is
called the indefinite integral of the function
∫
So:
Note: Sometimes we write: F(x) to mean the integral of f(x). So we
have
F(x) = ∫ f(x) dx

15. The gradient function of a function H is h(x) = x +1
What is the function H?
If the graph of the function H passes through (1,4),
give the equation of H.

16. A particular curve has
We are told that the curve passes through the point (2, 5).
Find the equation of the curve.

18. The acceleration a ms­2 of a particle moving in a
straight line is given by a = t +1. Find formulae
for the velocity and the displacement if s =0 and
v=8 when t=0.
