'An' Antiderivative?

[Chocolate01]

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"

I'd put it just in case to be on the safe side. They can't mark you down if you put one.

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...

[samuch]

yeah dont include the +c, they accepted the +c on some papers because it can be considered 'an' antiderivative

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

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 like rather 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

Maybe I'll put a series: or something similar... :p

[Blakhitman]

You do it and see if they give you the mark.

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

[m@tty]

I'll let you be the hero.

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

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.

This is not the stuff of which heroes are made

lol you should try to find a series where it is very hard to prove it converges

e.g.
converges but it takes time to prove :p
