Question
Which of the following option best is correct regarding calculus theorems?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Option B states that the indefinite integral of the derivative of a function f'(x) is the function f(x) (plus an arbitrary constant of integration, which is implied in indefinite integrals). This is a direct consequence of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Let's examine other options:
- Option A: ∫e³x dx = (1/3)e³x + C, not 3e³x.
- Options C and D are identical. The derivative of cosec²x is d/dx[(cosec x)²] = 2(cosec x)(-cosec x cot x) = -2cosec²x cot x, which is not −(1/2)cosec x cot x.
Hint
Recall the fundamental relationship between differentiation and integration as inverse operations.
