What is the derivative of the the constant function?
zero
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.
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.
How can I generate a declining function with constraints on the x and y intercepts so that the integral of the curve is constant?
The integral of a given function between given integration limits will always be a constant. The integral of a given function between variable limits - for example, from 0 to x - can only be a constant if the function is equal to zero everywhere.
Is a constant function on a measurable set is measurable?
Yes.
