Solution and Explanation

The anti derivative of (ax + b)2 is the function of x whose derivative is (ax + b)2
It is known that,

\(\frac{d}{dx}\)(ax + b)3= 3a (ax + b)2

⇒ (ax + b)2\(\frac{1}{3a}\frac{d}{dx}\)(ax + b)3

∴ (ax + b)2\(\frac{d}{dx}\bigg(\frac{1}{3a}(ax+b)^3\bigg)\)

Therefore, the anti derivative of (ax + b)2 is \(\frac{1}{3a}\)(ax + b)3 .

Integral

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.

  • The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
  • The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
  • An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.

Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.

F'(x) = f(x)

For every value of x = I.

Types of Integrals:

Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:

  1. The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
  2. The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
