y’ = 3x and y’ = x are examples of differential equations Differential Form dy = f(x) dx
Is the operation of finding all solutions of this equation and is denoted by an integral sign ∫ General Solution › y = ∫ f(x) dx = F(x) + C * Integration is the “inverse” of differentiation
Describe the antiderivative of 3x
Many applications of integration you will be given enough information to determine a particular solution. Need the initial condition, the value of y =F(x) for one value of x
Use initial condition F(1) = 0
F(1) = -1 + C = 0
