In summary, the conversation discusses the terms "integrand" and "antiderivative" in the context of an attached image, as well as the "hyperbolicus" or hyperbolic functions and their relation to trigonometry. The asker is an engineering undergraduate seeking a simple explanation and clarification. The answerer provides definitions and suggests further research for understanding.

I have 2 questions to ask.

Which is “integrand” and the “antiderivative” on the attached image?

What is “hyperbolicus” (form of trigonometry identities which include e or exponential)?

I am an undergraduate student of engineering, so please tell me the easiest simplest way on this. I see many people here are advance.

Thank you

I'm going to ask what do you think corresponds to each of the terms from the image just in case this is a homework question. Just to define some terms however, the integrand is the function being integrated and the antiderivative is a function whose derivative is the integrand.

By "hyperbolicus" do you mean what in English are called the "hyperbolic functions"?

The answer to one part is correctly answered by kurdt.Hyperbolis are the hyperbolic functions that take into account the imaginary cases also.More read with the help of google as I am not able to write the expressions here.
 

FAQ: Understanding First-Year Calculus Concepts: Integrand and Antiderivative

What is first-year calculus?

First-year calculus is a branch of mathematics that involves the study of limits, derivatives, and integrals. It is typically taken by students in their first year of college or university and serves as a foundation for higher level math courses.

What topics are covered in first-year calculus?

The main topics covered in first-year calculus include limits, derivatives, and integrals. Within these topics, students will learn about functions, their graphs, and how to use calculus to solve problems involving rates of change and areas under curves.

Why is first-year calculus important?

First-year calculus is important because it provides the fundamental tools for understanding and solving problems in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and more. It also helps to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

What are some common challenges students face in first-year calculus?

Some common challenges students face in first-year calculus include understanding abstract concepts, applying mathematical principles to real-world problems, and mastering complex calculations. Time management and study skills are also important factors in succeeding in this course.

How can I prepare for first-year calculus?

To prepare for first-year calculus, it is important to have a strong foundation in algebra and trigonometry. Practice solving problems and familiarize yourself with basic calculus concepts before starting the course. It can also be helpful to seek out additional resources, such as textbooks or online tutorials, to supplement your learning.
