Question

What is integration by the method of inspection?

Options

• Using only the corresponding rule for subtraction

• Looking for the same family of curves and are considered equivalent

• Looking for a known function whose derivative is the given function

• Taking the derivative of a real constant

Answer 1

To find an antiderivative by inspection, identify a known function whose derivative equals the given function. That known function, with a constant added, is an antiderivative.
