What is antiderivatives?

Question

calculus

Answer 1

An antiderivative is the opposite of a derivative, as the name suggests. Here is the definition of an antiderivative:

If F(x) = f'(x)

Then F(x) is the antiderivative of f(x)

As you move on, you will later call these indefinite integrals.

Answer 2

An antiderivative of a function f is the the function that when you take the deriviative it of gives you f. For example: what is the antiderivative of f(x) = x^2? The function (x^3)/3 is that. Take the derivative of (x^3)/3 and you get x^2. The antidervative is the same as the indefinite integral of the function.
