00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.400
Here is the problem: integrate 3x squared plus 2x.

2
00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:11.119
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of 3 x squared plus 2 x with respect to x.

3
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.359
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:13.809 --> 00:00:21.228
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

5
00:00:21.678 --> 00:00:28.284
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

6
00:00:28.734 --> 00:00:36.083
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

7
00:00:36.883 --> 00:00:43.210
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

8
00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:46.133
Sum rule: integrate term by term.

9
00:00:46.583 --> 00:00:49.590
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

10
00:00:50.390 --> 00:00:54.175
So the answer is x cubed plus x squared plus C.

11
00:00:54.625 --> 00:01:05.573
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.

12
00:01:06.373 --> 00:01:12.341
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
