how do you find the integral of a function?

Parth (parthkohli):

So many ways!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[\int\]

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

what's the simplest? or the one you prefer?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

it depends on the function

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

a quadratic one

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

ax^2+bx+c

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

for each term , add one to the index and divide by the new index, of the variable you are integrating over

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

(ax^3)/3+(bx^2)/2+(c^2)/2?

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

\[\int\limits(ax^2+bx+c)dx = a \frac{x^3}{3}+b \frac{x^2}{2}+cx+C\]

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

If you have a constant (here it's c), you just append x to it. And don't forget to add the constant term at the end (the + C)!

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

oh, thanks. Been having alot of trouble with this
