When we're told that the derivative of equals , we're being asked to find the antiderivative—that is, to integrate. The question becomes: what function, when differentiated, gives us ?
The integral isn't immediately obvious because doesn't fit any basic integration formula. This is a classic candidate for integration by parts, which comes from the product rule for differentiation.
The strategy is to write as a product where one factor is easy to integrate. We choose:
- (which simplifies when differentiated)
- (the simplest possible choice)
Now let's work through the integration:
-
Differentiate and integrate :
-
Apply the integration by parts formula:
- Simplify the remaining integral: The second term becomes: …
