Consider two antiderivatives of dydx=cos⁡x\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\cos x: F(x)=∫0xcos⁡t dtF(x)=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{x}\cos t\,dt and G(x)=2+∫π/2xcos⁡t dtG(x)=2+\displaystyle\int_{\pi/2}^{x}\cos t\,dt. Which constant should be added to F(x)F(x) so that it represents the same function as G(x)G(x) for all xx? (a) Add 2 to F(x)F(x). (b) Add 1 to F(x)F(x). (c) Make no change to F(x)F(x). (d) Subtract 1 from F(x)F(x).
