If , where C is the constant of integration, then equals :
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)✓ Correct
- (D)
Answer: (C)
Solution
Observe that
Writing , the last term splits as
So the derivative simplifies to
Adding to both sides gives exactly the bracketed integrand:
Since , taking this natural antiderivative (its constant absorbed into C) gives
