Question

If y = ∫ f(x)dx+C, then f(x)dx is called the -----
Options
A Definite integral
B finite integral
C indefinite integral
D integrand
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In an integral expression ∫ f(x)dx, the function f(x) is called the integrand. The term f(x)dx, which includes the differential dx, is often loosely referred to as the integrand or the differential form of the integrand. The entire expression ∫ f(x)dx represents the indefinite integral or antiderivative of f(x). A definite integral has limits of integration (e.g., ∫ab f(x)dx).

Hint

Consider the standard terminology for parts of an integral expression.
