Here is the problem: integrate 6x to the power 5.

2
00:00:04.130 --> 00:00:10.388
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of 6 x to the power 5 with respect to x.

3
00:00:11.188 --> 00:00:12.604
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:13.054 --> 00:00:20.299
Power rule: the integral of x to the power n dx equals x to the power n plus 1/(n plus 1).

5
00:00:20.749 --> 00:00:27.285
Constant multiple rule: the integral of k times f dx equals k the integral of f dx.

6
00:00:27.735 --> 00:00:30.835
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

7
00:00:31.635 --> 00:00:34.619
So the answer is x to the power 6 plus C.

8
00:00:35.069 --> 00:00:45.924
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.

00:00:46.724 --> 00:00:52.494
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
