Antiderivatives
• Consider the function F
whose derivative is given by .
f ( x ) = 5x 4
• What is ?
F ( x) F ( x) = x 5 Solution
( )
• Since F x is an antiderivative of f ( x ), we can
( )
say that F ' x = f x . ( )
G ( x ) = x + 3 and H ( x ) = x − 2, find
5 5
• If
g ( x ) and h( x ) .
Differential Equations
dy
• Recall the earlier equation = 2 x.
dx
• This is called a differential equation and could
also be written as dy = 2 xdx .
dy
• Construct a slope field for = x + y.
