At times it is useful to consider a function whose derivative is a given function. We look at the general idea of reversing the differentiation process and its applications to rectilinear motion.

3. Objectives
Given a ”simple“ elementary
func on, find a func on whose
deriva ve is that func on.
Remember that a func on
whose deriva ve is zero along
an interval must be zero along
that interval.

11. Why the MVT is the MITC
Most Important Theorem In Calculus!
Theorem
Let f′ = 0 on an interval (a, b). Then f is constant on (a, b).
Proof.
Pick any points x and y in (a, b) with x y. By MVT there exists a
point z in (x, y) such that
f(y) = f(x) + f′ (z)(y − x)
But f′ (z) = 0, so f(y) = f(x). Since this is true for all x and y in (a, b),
then f is constant.
12. Functions with the same derivative
Theorem
Suppose f and g are two differen able func ons on (a, b) with
f′ = g′ . Then f and g differ by a constant. That is, there exists a
constant C such that f(x) = g(x) + C.
Proof.
Let h(x) = f(x) − g(x)
Then h′ (x) = f′ (x) − g′ (x) = 0 on (a, b)
So h(x) = C, a constant
This means f(x) − g(x) = C on (a, b)

44. Combinations of antiderivatives
Fact (Sum and Constant Mul ple Rule for An deriva ves)
If F is an an deriva ve of f and G is an an deriva ve of g, then
F + G is an an deriva ve of f + g.
If F is an an deriva ve of f and c is a constant, then cF is an
an deriva ve of cf.
45. Combinations of antiderivatives
Proof.
These follow from the sum and constant mul ple rule for
deriva ves:
If F′ = f and G′ = g, then
(F + G)′ = F′ + G′ = f + g
Or, if F′ = f,
(cF)′ = cF′ = cf

accelera on of a moving par cle and we want to know the
equa ons of mo on.

Find the posi on func on s(t), the velocity func on v(t), and the
accelera on func on a(t).

Since v (t) = a(t), v(t) must be an an deriva ve of the

129. An earlier Hatsumon
Example
Drop a ball off the roof of the Silver Center. What is its velocity when

Solu on
Assume s0 = 100 m, and v0 = 0. Approximate a = g ≈ −10. Then
s(t) = 100 − 5t2
√ √
So s(t) = 0 when t = 20 = 2 5. Then
v(t) = −10t,

134. Implementing the Solution
In general,
1
s(t) = s0 + v0 t + at2
2
Since s0 = 0 and a = −20, we have
s(t) = v0 t − 10t2
v(t) = v0 − 20t
for all t.
135. Implementing the Solution
In general,
1
s(t) = s0 + v0 t + at2
2
Since s0 = 0 and a = −20, we have
s(t) = v0 t − 10t2
v(t) = v0 − 20t
for all t. Plugging in t = t1 ,
160 = v0 t1 − 10t2
1
0 = v0 − 20t1
137. Solving
We have
v0 t1 − 10t2 = 160
1 v0 − 20t1 = 0
The second gives t1 = v0 /20, so subs tute into the first:
v0 ( v )2
0
v0 · − 10 = 160
20 20
Solve:
v2

− 0
= 160
20 400
2v2 − v2 = 160 · 40 = 6400
0 0
138. Solving
We have
v0 t1 − 10t2 = 160
1 v0 − 20t1 = 0
The second gives t1 = v0 /20, so subs tute into the first:
v0 ( v )2

v0 · − 10 = 160

Solve:
