General antiderivative of a sum of two standard forms
Find the general antiderivative of
Hint
Recall the standard derivative facts and . Reverse each of these separately, then combine the results with a single arbitrary constant.
Step-by-step solution
The function is a sum of two terms, so we can antidifferentiate each term separately using linearity. For the first term, recall that , so an antiderivative of is .
For the second term, recall that , so an antiderivative of is . Adding these pieces together and including a single arbitrary constant of integration gives the general antiderivative .
