Find the general indefinite integral

In summary, the general indefinite integral is the antiderivative of a given function. To find it, you can use integration techniques or online tools. The main difference between a definite and indefinite integral is that the former has specific limits of integration while the latter does not. Some common mistakes to avoid when finding the general indefinite integral include forgetting the constant of integration, incorrect use of techniques, and not simplifying the final answer. Additionally, the general indefinite integral can be applied to solve real-world problems such as finding area, work, and velocity and acceleration.

Be careful in evaluating the definite integral - your answer is right but all of the terms from.your lower limit evaluation.should be in parentheses, the minus sign distributes.

PS- sorry about the periods, my phone is being glitchy!
 

FAQ: Find the general indefinite integral

What is the general indefinite integral?

The general indefinite integral refers to the antiderivative of a given function. It is a mathematical expression that, when differentiated, produces the original function.

How do I find the general indefinite integral?

To find the general indefinite integral, you can use integration techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, or trigonometric substitution. You can also use online calculators or software to find the indefinite integral of a function.

What is the difference between a definite and indefinite integral?

A definite integral has specific limits of integration, while an indefinite integral does not. This means that a definite integral will give a numerical value, while an indefinite integral will give a function.

What are some common mistakes when finding the general indefinite integral?

Some common mistakes when finding the general indefinite integral include forgetting to add the constant of integration, incorrect use of integration techniques, and not simplifying the final answer.

Can I use the general indefinite integral to solve real-world problems?

Yes, the general indefinite integral can be used to solve real-world problems such as finding the area under a curve, calculating work done by a variable force, and determining the velocity and acceleration of an object from its displacement function.
