Lesson: Antiderivatives Mathematics • Higher Education

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the antiderivative of a function. The antiderivative of a function f(x) is the function F(x) where F′(x) = f(x).

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

recognize and use notation for antiderivatives,
understand that the antiderivative is the inverse of the derivative,
understand that there are an infinite number of antiderivatives to a given function, denoted by the addition of a constant, C,
find the general form for the antiderivatives of a function,
find a specific antiderivative of a function (defining the constant, C) when given sufficient boundary conditions.
