Objective 1a: Antiderivatives

You will be able to define and find antiderivatives

A Missing Piece

Using a couple of Warm-Up Exercises, we begin the process of working the process of differentiation backwards. In doing so, as you will see, we lose an essential piece of information from the original function. Duration: 4:51

The Antiderivative of a Function

This video we'll formally define an antiderivative of a function, usually denoted with an uppercase letter. With the addition of a constant of integration, we arrive at the general antiderivative. Duration: 6:33

Examples 1 and 2

In Examples 1 and 2, we'll use our experience with taking derivatives to find a handful of simple antiderivatives. Hopefully, it doesn't get more complicated than this. Duration: 6:14
