What is a primitive function in calculus

Answer 1

In calculus, a primitive function (or antiderivative) of a function f(x) is a function F(x) whose derivative is equal to f(x). In other words, if F'(x) = f(x), then F(x) is a primitive function of f(x). Primitive functions are used in the process of solving indefinite integrals in calculus.
