Question

Find the indefinite integral and check your result by differentiation. $$ \int d u $$

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer
The indefinite integral of du is \(u + C\), where \(C\) is the constant of integration.
1Step 1: Compute Indefinite Integral
The given function is \(\int du\) which means an integral with respect to \(u\). The integral of \(du\) is simply \(u\), as the integral of \(1\) with respect to \(u\) is \(u\). So the antiderivative \(F(u) = u + C\), where C is the constant of integration.
2Step 2: Check the result by differentiation
In order to check if the computed antiderivative is correct, differentiate it with respect to \(u\). The derivative of \(u\) is \(1\) and the derivative of a constant is \(0\). Therefore, \(F'(u) = 1 + 0 = 1\). Thus, the differentiation result checks out with the original function.
