Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is an antiderivative?

An antiderivative of a function f(x) is another function F(x) whose derivative is equal to f(x) (i.e. F'(x) = f(x)).

What is the power rule of integration?

The power rule states that the antiderivative of x^n is (x^(n+1))/(n+1) + C, valid for all n except -1.

Why do we add the constant '+ C'?

Since the derivative of a constant is zero, any constant could have been part of the original function. '+ C' represents this family of possible solutions.

What is the antiderivative of 1/x?

The antiderivative of 1/x (or x^-1) is ln|x| + C, which is why the power rule does not apply when n = -1.

Does the tool require server connections?

No, calculus integrations are performed entirely client-side.
