What Are Antiderivatives? Assume we know a function for the velocity of an object. What if we wanted to know the object’s position? A function F is the antiderivative of f (x) if F’(x) = f(x) for all x over a given interval.
Finding Antiderivatives Antidifferentiation is the process by which we “work backwards.” The antiderivative is the function whose derivative is the given function. Examples…
General Antiderivative The general antiderivative of a function is F(x) + C, where C is an arbitrary constant. When finding the general antiderivative, you must add the constant C to the end of the antiderivative. Symbol for an Antiderivative: ∫

Particular Antiderivatives General antiderivatives have the “ + C” If given a point on F (an initial condition), then we can find the value of C… the particular antiderivative. Guided Practice
