Math Problem Statement

antiderivative of 4x

Solution

The antiderivative of 4x4x can be found by applying the power rule for integration. The power rule states:

xndx=xn+1n+1+C\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C

where CC is the constant of integration, and n1n \neq -1.

For the function 4x4x, we have n=1n = 1, so:

4xdx=4x1+11+1+C=4x22+C=2x2+C\int 4x \, dx = 4 \cdot \frac{x^{1+1}}{1+1} + C = 4 \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} + C = 2x^2 + C

Thus, the antiderivative of 4x4x is:

2x2+C2x^2 + C
