Relevant wiki: Antiderivative and Indefinite Integration

Suppose F ( x ) F(x) is an antiderivative of f ( x ) f(x) . That is, F ( x ) = f ( x ) F'(x) = f(x) . Observe that F ( x ) + C F(x) + C is also a antiderivative of f ( x ) f(x) for any value of C C

The indefinite integral f ( x ) d x \int f(x) \, dx is the set of all antiderivatives of the function f ( x ) f(x) . This set consists of all functions of the form F ( x ) + C F(x) + C , generated by taking different values of C C .

We can write the set in set-builder notation as:

f ( x ) d x = { F ( x ) + C C R } \int f(x) \, dx = \{ \, F(x) + C \mid C \in \mathbb{R} \, \}

Thus we can say that the indefinite integral is a set of functions, that differ by a constant. _\square

also there function f: r>>>>r and the integral =complex function +c thats easy question but make u ask about area blow function
