My teacher said regardless of the fact if the question asks for 'an' antiderivative or the antiderivative, the '+c' must be stated, this is becoz in the 2006 paper exam1,Q8, it asks for 'an antiderivative' and there is a '+c'in the assessment report. So do we really need it even when it says 'an"???
Well, they leave it off in quite a few others.
If you write out the proper anti-derivative, then finally state "Therefore an anti-derivative of ... is ...." then you should be safe.
Because the "+C" denotes a family of functions, and "an" is singular => So really with the "+C" it is wrong...

After I read that idea off the.watchman I've been doing it all the time :D

If there is an "an anti-derivative" question in the exam I'm tempted to put a constant like

Yeah, it's mathematically incorrect to simply leave off the "+C".
If there is an "an anti-derivative" question in the exam I'm tempted to put a constant likerather than a boring zero.
lol just for lols put like a massive number as a constant, add in sin cos sec, see if they mark you correct haha

You'll be labeled a hero for taking the risk :p

u wont get penalised with +c if it says "an". though technically u don't need it.

I'll let you be the hero.
I guess "we must stand fast a little, even at the risk of being heroes".
Bolt demonstrates that although one may not like the idea of being a hero, it is essential that one remains true to themselves-especially in matters related to mathematics-even if it may ultimately result in them being labeled as heroes.

Maybe I'll put a series:or something similar... :p
lol you should try to find a series where it is very hard to prove it converges
e.g.

Not a bad idea. personally I think having +c in your asnwer deserves a penalisation.
Yeah, it's clearly wrong.
And they do have some questions which are "an" antiderivative, while others are simply "the" antiderivative; hence I'd assume they do expect different answers..
