Primitivifunktionen

Primitivfunktionen, also known as antiderivatives, are a fundamental concept in calculus. A function F is considered a primitivfunktion of a function f if the derivative of F is equal to f. In simpler terms, if you differentiate F, you get back f. The process of finding a primitivfunktion is called integration, specifically indefinite integration. For any given function f, there are infinitely many primitivfunktionen. These primitivfunktionen differ from each other by an arbitrary constant, often denoted as 'C'. This constant arises because the derivative of any constant is zero. Therefore, if F is a primitivfunktion of f, then F + C is also a primitivfunktion of f for any real number C. The set of all primitivfunktionen of f is called the indefinite integral of f, and it is denoted by the integral symbol followed by the function f(x) and the differential dx, such as ∫f(x) dx. The concept of primitivfunktionen is crucial for solving differential equations and for evaluating definite integrals through the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Finding primitivfunktionen often involves recognizing common derivative rules in reverse or employing integration techniques.
