2. Reversing Differentiation We have seen how to use derivatives to solve various contextual problems. For instance, if the position of a particle is known, then both the velocity and acceleration can be calculated by taking a derivative: But what if ONLY the acceleration of a particle is known? It would be useful to determine its velocity or its position at a particular time. For this case, a derivative is given and the problem is that of finding the corresponding function. Position FunctionThe derivative of the Position Function is the Velocity Function The derivative of the Velocity Function is the Acceleration Function Acceleration Function What function has a derivative of 32? What function has a second derivative of 32?

3. Antiderivative A function F is called an antiderivative of a given function f on an interval I if: for all x in I. Example:

4. The Uniqueness of Antiderivatives Suppose, find an antiderivative of f. That is, find a function F ( x ) such that. Using the Power Rule in Reverse Is this the only function whose derivative is 3 x 2 ? There are infinite functions whose derivative is 3 x 2 whose general form is: C is a constant real number (parameter)

5. Antiderivatives of the Same Function Differ by a Constant If F is an antiderivative of the continuous function f, then any other antiderivative, G, of f must have the form: In other words, two antiderivatives of the same function differ by a constant.

6. Differential Equation A differential equation is any equation that contains derivatives. If a question asks you to “solve a differential equation,” you need to find the original equation (most answers will be in the form y=). Example: The following is a differential equation because it contains the derivative of G : The general solution to the differential equation is:
