Indefinite integral
An indefinite integral gives the antiderivative F of a function f, which is any function whose derivative is f, plus an arbitrary constant C. It is used to find families of functions with a given derivative.
\int f(x)\,\mathrm{d}x = F(x) + C \quad \text{where } F'(x) = f(x)What the symbols mean
| the integrand, the function being integrated | |
| an antiderivative of f, so that F'(x) = f(x) | |
| the constant of integration, an arbitrary real number | |
| the variable of integration |
