(Antiderivatives – Constant of Integration) Answer all parts. (i) Define an antiderivative (indefinite integral) of a function f(x)f(x). (ii) Explain, with reason, why an arbitrary constant must be added while writing the most general antiderivative of a function. (iii) If F(x)F(x) is any one antiderivative of f(x)f(x), show that F(x)+kF(x)+k is also an antiderivative of f(x)f(x) for every real constant kk.
