00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.367
Here is the problem: integrate sqrt(x).

2
00:00:03.817 --> 00:00:09.529
Find the indefinite integral (antiderivative) of sqrt(x) with respect to x.

3
00:00:10.329 --> 00:00:11.769
Start with the integral.

4
00:00:12.219 --> 00:00:18.384
the integral of the square root of x dx equals (2 over 3)x to the power 3 over 2).

5
00:00:18.834 --> 00:00:21.876
Simplify and add the constant of integration.

6
00:00:22.676 --> 00:00:27.680
So the answer is x to the power 3 over 2) times 2 over 3 plus C.

7
00:00:28.130 --> 00:00:39.183
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
00:00:39.983 --> 00:00:45.858
Differentiated the answer and compared it with the integrand at 8 sample points, which checks out.
