Let’s Explore and Discover

Unlocking of Difficulties
Antidifferentiation or integration
is the process of reversing the
differentiation of a function in order
to find the antiderivative or
integral.
From the previous lessons, we have been
concerned principally with finding the derivative
and the differential of a given function. Suppose
the process is reversed, i.e. the derivative of a
function is given, and we are asked to find the
function. Such a function is called an integral of
the given derivative.

Let 𝑓(𝑥) be a given function which is the derivative of a function 𝐹(𝑥). We can express
their relation by the equation
𝐹(𝑥) = ∫ 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥
which is read as “𝐹(𝑥) is equal to the integral of 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥”.
The symbol ʃ , also called the integral sign, denotes the operation of
antidifferentiation. 𝐹(𝑥) is the antiderivative of function 𝑓 while 𝑓(𝑥) is the integrand.
The equation indicates that we must find a function 𝐹(𝑥) whose derivative is 𝑓(𝑥).

2
Example 1:
1. The antiderivative (integral) of 𝑓(𝑥) = 12𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 is 𝐹(𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 . This is because the
derivative of 𝐹 is given by 𝐹 ′ = 12𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 which is the function 𝑓.
1 2 1
2. The antiderivative (integral) of 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 is 𝐺(𝑥) = 𝑥 4 − 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 because
4 3 2
𝐺 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 is equal to 𝑔(𝑥).

Example 2:
1. The function 𝑓(𝑥) = 12𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 from the previous example has other antiderivatives
like 𝐹1 (𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 − 𝟏 and 𝐹2 (𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 + 𝟏 because the derivatives of these two
functions are 𝐹1′ (𝑥) = 12𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 and 𝐹2′ (𝑥) = 12𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 which are both equal to 𝑓(𝑥). In
fact, any other function of the form 𝐹(𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 + 𝑪, where 𝐶 ∈ ℝ, is an
antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥) because the derivative of any constant 𝐶 is always 0.
2. The antiderivative of 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 from Example 1, problem 2 can also be
1 4 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 𝟏
4 𝑥 − 3 𝑥 + 2 𝑥 + 𝟓 or 𝐺2
𝐺1 (𝑥) = (𝑥) = 𝑥 4 − 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 2 − . In fact, any function
4 3 2 𝟑
1 4 2 3 1 2
𝐺(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 𝑥 + 𝑥 + 𝑪, where 𝐶 ∈ ℝ, is an antiderivative of 𝑔(𝑥) because 5 and
4 3 2
1
− are both constant having derivatives of 0.
3

If function 𝒇 is the integrand or derivative, therefore function 𝑭 is an integral or

antiderivative, written as
∫ 𝑓(𝑥) 𝑑𝑥 = 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶
where 𝐶 is an arbitrary constant and the symbol 𝑑𝑥 helps us identify the variable of
integration.

The expression 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 is called the general antiderivative of 𝑓. Meanwhile, each

antiderivative of 𝑓 is called a particular antiderivative.

Example 3: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = −8𝑥 3 − 10𝑥 + 5 and 𝐹(𝑥) = −2𝑥 4 − 5𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 3. Show that 𝐹(𝑥) is an
antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥).

Solution: Find the derivative of 𝐹(𝑥) rules of differentiation. That is, 𝐹 ′ (𝑥) = −8𝑥 3 − 10𝑥 + 5
which is equal to 𝑓(𝑥).

Example 4: Determine if the following is/are antiderivatives of 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 + 1.

a) 𝐹(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 + 1 b) 𝐺(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 + 1 c) 𝐻(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 + 3

Solutions: Find the derivatives of 𝐹(𝑥), 𝐺(𝑥), and 𝐻(𝑥). If the results are equal to the original
function 𝑓, then they are antiderivatives of 𝑓(𝑥).
a) 𝐹 ′ (𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 + 1 = 𝑓(𝑥). Thus, 𝐹(𝑥) is an antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥).
b) 𝐺 ′ (𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 + 2 ≠ 𝑓(𝑥). Therefore, 𝐺(𝑥) is NOT an antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥).
c) 𝐻 ′ (𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 + 1 = 𝑓(𝑥). Hence, 𝐻(𝑥) is an antiderivative of 𝑓(𝑥).

Both 𝐹(𝑥) and 𝐻(𝑥) are antiderivatives or integrals of 𝑓(𝑥). In this example, we are
able to illustrate that an antiderivative of a function is not unique.

This also shows that the general antiderivative of the form 𝐹(𝑥) + 𝐶 can have more
than one particular antiderivatives, depending on the values associated to the arbitrary
constant 𝐶.
