Determining Basic Rates of Change Using Integrals

Key Questions

• How can you find a function, if you already know the rate of change of the function?

  If you know the formula of `f'(x)`, then you can find the formula `f(x)` except for its constant term by taking an antiderivative

  `f(x)=\int f'(x)dx`.

  If you have an additional information about `f(x)` such as a point on the graph of `f`, then you will be able to find its constant term as well.
