finding the derivative (check my work)

OpenStudy (askme12345):

a(t) = 3cos t -2 sin t Im finding the antiderivative should i be getting v(t) = 3sin t + 2 cos t + c OR v(t) = 3 sin t - 2 cos t + C because the antideriv of sin is - cos, but we already have a neg there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first one...

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

The negative sign coming from the antiderivative will cancel with the negative sign initially there. So: - 2 sin t goes to - 2 (-cos t) = + 2 cos t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

v(t) = 3sin t + 2 cos t + c is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The negative in -2sin(t) gets multiplied with the negative that arises when you integrate sin(t), hence giving you a positive +2cos(t). So V(t) = 3sin(t) + 2cos(t) + C is correct.
