The derivative of a sum of functions is the sum of the derivatives,
so the same applies to antiderivatives,
So to find a function with for a derivative,
we need to find what function has for derivative ,
and what function has for derivative .
We also know that if we find a function with for a derivative,
adding any constant , we get another function with the same derivative.
We will use to figure out what constant to add.
We know about derivatives of polynomials.
For any exponent (integer or not, as long as ),
if , ,
and that lets us figure out the antiderivative of any ,
except .
So, the antiderivative of is ;
and the antiderivative of is .
So, we can see that
for some constant .
Then, .
If ,
,
and
