Question

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

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In calculus, when we write y = ∫f(x)dx + C, the term ∫f(x)dx represents the family of all antiderivatives of the function f(x). This is formally known as the indefinite integral of f(x). The 'C' stands for the constant of integration, representing the arbitrary constant that can exist because the derivative of any constant is zero.

Hint

What is the general term for finding the antiderivative of a function?
