00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.531
Here is the problem: integral of 5.

2
00:00:02.981 --> 00:00:07.857
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of 5 with respect to x.

3
00:00:08.657 --> 00:00:10.085
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:10.535 --> 00:00:14.680
Constant rule: the integral of k dx equals kx.

5
00:00:15.130 --> 00:00:18.114
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

6
00:00:18.914 --> 00:00:21.236
So the answer is 5x plus C.

7
00:00:21.686 --> 00:00:32.785
An antiderivative F satisfies F prime of x equals f(x). Because the derivative of any constant is 0, every antiderivative differs by a constant C.

8
00:00:33.585 --> 00:00:39.251
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
