1. A function whose derivative is a given function; the inverse operation of differentiation in calculus.
Usage: mathematics; plural form of antiderivative

Examples

• The antiderivatives of f(x) = 2x are all functions of the form x² + C, where C is any constant.
• Finding antiderivatives is a fundamental skill in calculus courses.
• The set of all antiderivatives of a function differs only by a constant term.
• Students learn to compute antiderivatives using integration techniques.
• The antiderivatives of polynomial functions can be found using the power rule.
• In physics, antiderivatives help us find position from velocity functions.
