Lets see...I am using th power rule part 1, where integral x^n dx= x^n+1/n+1.

@UpcomingJedi  Yes, and that works if you have a number for the exponent, but not if you have a variable for the exponent.

[UpcomingJedi]

@derekowens uh huh but how does -integral xdx become x^2/2?

[derekowens]

@UpcomingJedi That's the power rule for integrals. The reverse of the power rule for derivatives.

[UpcomingJedi]

@derekowens Yes, thank you. I finally figured out the x is really x^1!

[UpcomingJedi]

ok, now ...how does integral x dx become x^2/2? I just don't see it. :( What is wrong with this post button????
