What is the significance of the first derivative of a function to be a constant?
If the first derivative if a function is a constant that the original function has only one slope across its entire domain, so it is a line.
Is there an instance that a linear equation is not a function?
There is one form of linear equation that is not a function, and that is when x = c, where c is a constant.
Is work function is constant?
No.
What is the derivative of the the constant function?
zero
Why does an answer to an integration problem involve a Constant of Integration?
The indefinite integral is the anti-derivative - so the question is, "What function has this given function as a derivative". And if you add a constant to a function, the derivative of the function doesn't change. Thus, for example, if the derivative is y' = 2x, the original function might be y = x squared. However, any function of the form y = x squared + c (for any constant c) also has the SAME derivative (2x in this case). Therefore, to completely specify all possible solutions, this constant should be added.
