Math Problem Statement

Integrate the functions: a. ∫5 dx, b. ∫ du

Solution

Let's solve the integrals shown in the image:

a. 5dx\int 5 \, dx

The integral of a constant multiplied by dxdx is straightforward. We integrate the constant 55 with respect to xx, which is:

5dx=5x+C\int 5 \, dx = 5x + C where CC is the constant of integration.

b. du\int du

The integral of dudu (which implies a constant function) is simply:

du=u+C\int du = u + C again, CC is the constant of integration.

Would you like further details or have any questions on these integrals?

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the integral of 7dx\int 7 \, dx?
  2. How would you integrate (3x+2)dx\int (3x + 2) \, dx?
  3. What is the significance of the constant CC in indefinite integrals?
  4. How does the power rule for integration apply when integrating polynomials?
  5. What happens when you differentiate the result of an indefinite integral?

Tip: The constant of integration CC appears in indefinite integrals because the process of differentiation removes constant terms, so we reintroduce one during integration to account for this.
