What is the velocity of an object moving along a straight line with known acceleration? How can knowing the rate at which a population is changing be used to predict future population levels? In all these situations, the derivative (rate of change) of a quantity is known and the quantity itself is required. Here is the terminology we will use in connection with obtaining a function from its derivative. Antidifferentiation ■ A function F(x) is said to be an antiderivative of f (x) if FЈ(x) ϭ f(x) for every x in the domain of f(x). The process of finding antiderivatives is called antidifferentiation or indefinite integration. NOTE Sometimes we write the equation FЈ(x) ϭ f(x) as dF ϭ f (x) dx ■ Later in this section, you will learn techniques you can use to find antiderivatives. Once you have found what you believe to be an antiderivative of a function, you can always check your answer by differentiating. You should get the original function back. Here is an .
