Solutions
A1
- . The function whose derivative equals for all must be a constant function. So for example for all .
A2
- Antiderivative
A3
. The antiderivative is . Thus, we have
A4
The area is . The antiderivative of is . Thus, find with
So we have to solve the equation
A5
The distance is given by the area under the curve, that is, the integral
A6
-
Using the chain rule with and , we get
which is .
-
As , it follows that is an antiderivative of , and thus
