Math Problem Statement
state an antiderivative F of the function f(x)=e^-x^2 that has the property that F(-3)=1. write one sentence to explain how you determined the formula
Solution
An antiderivative of the function is given by:
I determined this formula by using the fact that to define the antiderivative as a definite integral with the lower limit , ensuring the condition is satisfied by adding 1 to the integral.
