Calculating Integrals of polynomial functions

A) Using the definition of an antiderivative  f ( x)dx = g ( x)  g ( x) = f ( x) , check if

each of the following statements is right or wrong.

H) In the absence of a product rule, when asked to calculate the product of two polynomials, do
the distributive property first and then proceed as you have already done so far

I) In the special case where you are asked to find the integral of a rational function, where the
denominator is a monomial, divide each of the numerator’s terms by that monomial first and
then proceed as usual.
