3. LESSON 2 – Indefinite Integral
In this lesson, you should be able to:
solve antiderivatives using the properties of
integration and by substitution
solve applied problems using the properties of
integration and by substitution method
4. Indefinite Integral
𝑰𝒇 𝑭′
𝒙 = 𝒇 𝒙 , 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝒇 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = 𝑭 𝒙 + 𝑪
For any real number C.
Note:
The symbol 𝑖𝑠 the integral sign, 𝑓(𝑥) is the integrand, and
𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 is called an indefinite integral, the most general
antiderivative of 𝑓.
6. Constant Multiple Rule and Sum and Difference Rule
𝒄 ∙ 𝒇 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = 𝒄 𝒇 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 , for any real number c
(a constant maybe written before the integral sign)
and
𝒇 𝒙 ± 𝒈 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 = 𝒇 𝒙 𝒅𝒙 ± 𝒈 𝒙 𝒅𝒙
(The integral of the sum/difference of two functions is the
sum/difference of their integrals.)
7. EXAMPLEs
Find the indefinite integral of the following
1. 𝑢5
𝑑𝑢
SOLUTION Use the power rule with n = 5
𝑢5𝑑𝑢 =
𝑢5+1
5 + 1
+ 𝐶 =
𝒖6
6
+ 𝑪
To check the solution, find the derivative of
𝑢6
6
+ 𝐶. The derivative is
𝑢5, the original function

𝒙𝒏+𝟏

13. 7. Suppose a publishing company has found that the
marginal cost (cost added by producing one additional
unit of a product or service) at a level of production of x
thousand books is given by
𝐶′
𝑥 =
50
𝑥
And that the fixed cost (the cost before the first book can
be produced) is ₱25,000. Find the cost function 𝐶(𝑥) and
the cost of producing 400 books.
14. SOLUTION Use the indefinite integral rules to integrate the function
𝐶 𝑥 =
50
𝑥
𝑑𝑥 = 50𝑥
−1
2 𝑑𝑥 = 50
𝑥

+ 𝐾 = 100𝑥
1
2 + 𝐾
𝐶 𝑥 = 100𝑥
1
2 + 𝐾
The constant of integration is K is
use to avoid confusion with the cost
function 𝐶(𝑥). To find the value of
K, use the fact that 𝐶(0) is ₱25,000
𝐶 𝑥 = 100𝑥
1
2 + 𝐾
25,000 = 100 ∙ 0 + 𝐾
𝐾 = 25,000
Thus, the cost function is 𝑪 𝒙 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒙
𝟏
𝟐 + 𝟐𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
15. Thus, the cost function is 𝑪 𝒙 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒙
𝟏
𝟐 + 𝟐𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
when 𝑥 = 400, in solving for the cost of producing books 𝐶(𝑥)
𝐶 400 = 100 400
1
2 + 25,000
𝐶 400 = 100 400
1
2 + 25,000
𝐶 400 = 2000 + 25,000
𝐶 400 = 27,000
The cost in producing 400 books is ₱ 27,000
Something that can be approached but never reached.
Describe its behavior of a function f(x) as the independent variable x gets closer and closer to a particular number a.
