Antiderivative Definition and 177 Threads

In calculating the integral ##\int{\ln\left(x\right)\,\sin\left(x\right)\,\cos\left(2\,x\right)}{\;\mathrm{d}x}##, I used a few online integral calculators to check my answer. According to one calculator, I got the correct antiderivative, but according to another (Math DF Integral Calculator)...

For ##R<0##, the antiderivative is just a constant, since then ##R-|x|## is negative for all values of ##x##, which in turn implies ##\Theta(R-|x|)## is zero for all values of ##x##. For ##R\geq 0##, and by inspection apparently, the antiderivative is ##(R+x)\Theta(R-|x|)+2R\Theta(x-R)+C.##...

Below is the really quick derivation for average voltage. However when we do the anti-derivative a factor of ##1/\omega## should come out and the full answer should be ##\frac{2V_p}{\pi \omega}##. So why don't we include that? What's going on?

Greetings! In statistical mechanics, when studying diffusion processes, one often finds the following reasoning: Suppose there is a strictly positive differentiable function ##f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}## with ## \lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} {f'(x)} = a > 0##. Then for sufficiently...

please tell me if i am right or wrong

Is there such a thing as an antiderivative of a multivariable function? I haven't put too much thought into this yet but I wanted to ask anyways. Sticking for now just to two variables, I was observing that double integrals are always definite integrals, whereas in the single-variable case, we...

Find the antiderivative, $F$, of the function $$f(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2-x-x^2}}{x^2}.$$

Hello everyone ! I've started to work on integral and I wonder if it's possible to calculate the expression of the antiderivative with the expression of the "integrand"1 rather than use a table with the function and its antiderivative. Thank you in advance ! 1( I'm french and I d'ont know the...

Hello, I still don't really understand what an antiderivative is, besides its ability to "undo" derivatives, its relation to integrals, and what the difference between the two even is. It would also be great to know how to visualize an antiderivative. I've tried looking further into the...

I'm wondering if this could be used to calculate the value of a contour integral directly. If a function has an antiderivative on the entire complex plane, this implies the field is conservative so we should always get the same value no matter which path taken. Shouldn't this also mean integrals...

We are going over antiderivatives in my calculus course and reached a question regarding ##f(x) = \frac {1}{x}##. My instructor went on to say that ##\int \frac {1}{x}dx = \ln |x| + C##. This makes sense to me, but only to a certain point. For ##f(x) = \frac {1}{x}##, ##f## is defined...

http://www.askamathematician.com/2011/04/q-why-is-the-integralantiderivative-the-area-under-a-function/ this website says f^\prime (c) (B-A) = f(B)-f(A) or f(c) (B-A) = F(B)-F(A) (since F’ =f). but seems like this is wrong. because B-A= Δ x, f'(c)*Δ x= Δy and the area might...

Accidentally I wrote in the wolfram f(x) = f(1/x) the the wolfram give me the solution for this equation (f(x) = Abs(log(x))). Hummmm, nice! Thus I thought: given the definition of derivative, ##f'(x) = \frac{f(x+dx)-f(x)}{dx}##, is possible to isolate f(x) in this equation? If yes, how? I...

A little confused on something. Suppose I have the integral 2 \int 4 \sin^2x \, dx So I understand that \sin^2x = \frac{1 - \cos2x}{2} BUT we have a 4 in front of it, so shouldn't we pull the 4 out in front of the integral to get: 8 \int \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2} \, dx then pull out the...

Prays the CFT that all function f(x) can be expressed how the integral of its derivative more an initial constant:f(x)=\int_{x_0}^{x}f'(u)du+f(x_0) So, is correct affirm that integral, primitive and antiderivative are concepts differents? ie: f(x) = primitive ##\int_{x_0}^{x}f'(u)du## =...
