Anti-differentiation or integration is the reverse process to differentiation. For example, if f 0 (x) = 2x, we know that this is the derivative of f(x) = x^2 . Could there be any other possible answers?
If we shift the parabola f(x) = x^2 by sliding it up or down vertically, all the points on the curve will still have the same tangent slopes, i.e. derivatives.
Example on the right : All have the same derivative function, y' = 2x, so a general expression for this family of curves would be y = x^2 + c where c is an arbitrary constant (called the integration constant).

Definite Integral has start and end values: in other words there is an interval [a, b].
a and b (called limits, bounds or boundaries) are put at the bottom and top of the integral symbol.
Evaluating a definite integral means finding the area enclosed by the graph of the function and the x-axis, over the given interval [a,b].
The area under a curve between two points is found out by doing a definite integral between the two points. To find the area under the curve y = f(x) between x = a & x = b, integrate y = f(x) between the limits of a and b. This area can be calculated using integration with given limits.
Kinematics is the study of the motion of points, objects, and groups of objects without considering the causes of its motion. The study of kinematics is often referred to as the “geometry of motion.”
