True or False. If F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x) and c is any constant, then F(x) + c is also an antiderivative of f(x).

It's true?

True:D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ya its true
OpenStudy (e.cociuba):
Can u explain y?

true is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LOL

Differentiate F(x) + c
OpenStudy (e.cociuba):
i new it thanks! :))

F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x)
so by definition,
d/dx[ F(x) ] = f(x)
OpenStudy (e.cociuba):
kk thanks guys! :))
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so
d/dx[ F(x) + C ] = d/dx[ F(x) ] + d/dx[ C ]
d/dx[ F(x) + C ] = d/dx[ F(x) ] + 0 ... derivative of a constant is 0
d/dx[ F(x) + C ] = f(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh no good luck reading tht lol
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
lol it's not too bad actually

The infinite number of antiderivatives all only vary by a constant.
Take a curve an curve, and shift the y axis up or down. Does that change the derivative at all? No. Thus, the antiderivative +c is related to this.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah well maybe not for u...
OpenStudy (e.cociuba):
No its fine, thanks guys lol :)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
but the whole thing to take away from this is that
integral of f(x) = F(x) + C
which is what a lot of people (including me) forget...that +C
