Refer to the description below. Are there any other anti-derivatives of f(x) = 12x^2 + 2x, and g(x) = cos x. (Cite another anti-derivative for each function.)

There are already two known antiderivatives of each function, specifically:


1.) f(x) = 12x^2 + 2x:

Antiderivatives:

4x3+x2

4x3+x2-1


2.) g(x)=cos x

Antiderivatives:

sin x

sin x+π


Now, what are the other antiderivatives of each function? (Just one new antiderivative for each function and also state how you got it)

how about the other function sir? what are the other antiderivatives for g(x)=cos x?

And may I ask as well how you did it or like a detailed explanation as to how you got that antiderivative??

It's the same for the other function (and, for every function). Adding any constant to an antiderivative will result in another antiderivative. So, for instance, sin(x)+1 is another antiderivative for the second function
