Here is the problem: integral of x to the power 2 over 3).

2
00:00:04.432 --> 00:00:10.759
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of x to the power 2 over 3) with respect to x.

3
00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:12.999
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:13.449 --> 00:00:20.717
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

5
00:00:21.167 --> 00:00:24.151
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

6
00:00:24.951 --> 00:00:29.920
So the answer is x to the power 5 over 3) times 3 over 5 plus C.

7
00:00:30.370 --> 00:00:41.527
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.

00:00:42.327 --> 00:00:48.132
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
