1) The slope of the curve at any point (x, y) is given as 4x. The equation of the family of curves is y = 2x^2 + C. The specific curve passing through (0, -2) is y = 2x^2 - 2. 2) A ball thrown vertically upwards with initial velocity 96 ft/sec reaches a maximum height found by setting the velocity equal to 0: v = 0 = -32t + 96, so t = 3 sec and the maximum height is 96*3 - (1/2)*32*3^2 = 288 ft. 3) For a rocket with velocity v = t - t^2 at t = 4

Applications of Indefinite Integration

An equation that involves derivatives or differentiation is called


differential equation. The functions F(x) and f(x) are related by the 𝑑𝐹
  ( 𝑥 ) =𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
equation
If y = F(x), then 𝑑𝑦=𝑑𝐹
  ( 𝑥 )=𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
 𝑑𝑦
=𝑓 ( 𝑥 )
𝑑𝑥
or 𝑑𝑦=𝑓
  ( 𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
Which is the simplest type of differential equation where f(x) is a
known function and y is the unknown function of x. Integrating
both sides
∫ 𝑑𝑦=∫ 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) 𝑑𝑥
 

 𝑦+ 𝐶 1= 𝐹 ( 𝑥 )+𝐶 2
or
 𝑦=𝐹 ( 𝑥 ) +𝐶 2 −𝐶 1
  if , then  𝒚=𝑭 ( 𝒙 ) +𝑪
Any form of this equation represent the equation of family of curves having a common property, like the same point (x, y).
Through a specific point P­0(x0, y0), there passes just one member of the family. The value of C for the member passing
through P0 can thus be obtained by substituting the coordinates of P0 in the equation of the family.

the body.

Let: s = distance of the ball from the ground
 𝑑𝑠 =− 32𝑡 +96
