What is the antiderivative of x to the 1?
By antiderivative do you mean integral? If yes, integral x^1 dx= (x^2)/2
What is an antiderivative?
It is an inverse function of a derivative, also known as an integral.
What is the antiderivative of x to the negative 6 5ths?
(that weird integral or antiderivative sign) x^(-6/5) dx =-5*x^(-1/5)
When you find particular integral then why you not add constantof integration?
Where you refer to a particular integral I will assume you mean a definite integral. To illustrate why there is no constant of integration in the result of a definite integral let me take a simple example. Consider the definite integral of 1 from 0 to 1. The antiderivative of this function is x + C, where C is the so-called constant of integration. Now to evaluate the definite integral we calculate the difference between the value of the antiderivative at the upper limit of integration and the value of it at the lower limit of integration: (1 + C) - (0 + C) = 1 The C's cancel out. Furthermore, they will cancel out no matter what the either antiderivatives happen to be or what the limits of integration happen to be.
What is the connection between anti-derivatives and definite integrals?
Definite integrals are definite because the limits of integration are prescribed. It is also the area enclosed by the curve and the ordinates corresponding to the two limits of integration. Antiderivatives are inverse functios of derivatives. If the limits of the integral are dropped then the integration gives antiderivative. Example Definite integral of x with respect to x between the value of x squared divided by 2 between the limits 0 and 1 is 1/2. Antiderivative of x is x squared divided by two.
