Ok here's my problem... First, I only took Calculus AB so don't drown me with what I won't even approach to understand.
Now my problem is the dy/dx part of calculus. In the differential equations etc it makes sense...dy gets integrated into a y and dx is integrated into x etc...
[tex]\int{dx}=x + C[/tex]
but look here:
[tex]\int {x [dx]} = \frac{x^{2}} {2} + C[/tex]
SO what happens if you do plainly...
[tex]\int{x} = ?[/tex] + C
Would it simply...malfunction because you don't have a dx? What does the dx actually do? to my logic the dx should turn into an x somehow...because it does so in my first example. but when dx is by some x it just does nothing. Why is that?
