Indefinite Integral

If 'f' and 'g' are functions of 'x', such that g'(x)=f(x) then the function 'g' is called an integral of 'f' with respect to 'x', and is written symbolically as:

f(x)dx = g(x) + c

where: f(x) is called the integrand and 'c' is called the constant of integration

Note: If d/dx f(x) = g(x) then d/dx {f(x) + c} = g(x)

Where 'c' is constant, because differentiation of a constant is zero.

Thus the general value g(x)dx is f(x)+c, where 'c' is the constant of integration.

Clearly integral will change if 'c' changes. Thus integral of a function is not unique, hence it is called indefinite integral.

These standard results for integral calculus are derived directly from the standard results of differential calculus
