Math Problem Statement

What is the solution to the indefinite integral \(\int 1 \, dx\)?

Solution

The equation shown in the image is:

1dx=x+C\int 1 \, dx = x + C

This represents the indefinite integral of the constant function 11 with respect to xx.

Explanation:

  • The integral of a constant function 11 is simply xx, because differentiating xx with respect to xx gives 11.
  • The CC is the constant of integration, which is added to account for any possible constant term that disappears when differentiating.

Here are 5 relative questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do you integrate functions other than constants?
  2. What is the significance of the constant of integration CC?
  3. How would this integral change if the integrand were a different constant?
  4. What are definite and indefinite integrals, and how do they differ?
  5. How can integrals be used to solve real-world problems?

Tip: When solving integrals, always remember to include the constant of integration for indefinite integrals!
