How To: Define an antiderivative in calculus

The relationship and the definition of derivatives and anti-derivatives is described in this video. First, consider a function F(x)=x^3-5x+2 and another with small 'f', f(x)=3x-5. f(x) here is the derivative of F(x). However, on the contrary, F(x) is said to be the anti-derivative of f(x). There is a catch though; even though F(x) has only one derivative in the form of f(x), f(x) here has more than one anti-derivative. This is because f(x)'s anti-derivatives are of the form F(x)=x^3-5x+c, whe...

How To: Factor out when doing rational expressions in algebra

This video shows the method to simplify rational expressions. The example used in the video is multiple of 4 and x square plus multiple of 4 and x plus 1 or (4x^2 + 4x + 1)/(2x^3 + 11x^2 + 5x). As the first and last term is a perfect square we get the simplified numerator as (2x + 1)(2x + 1). Next, the denominator is simplified. Taking the common factor out we get x(2x^2 + 11x + 5). Now we factorize 2x^2 + 11x + 5. We get (2x + 1)(x + 5 ). Now, writing the terms in numerator and denominator w...
