Transcript text: Cooper Section 9.3 \#5 What functions have derivative equal to $\boldsymbol{x}^{10}$. Use $C$ as your constant of integration.
Solution
Step 1: Identify the antiderivative
To find the function whose derivative is \( x^{10} \), we need to compute the antiderivative of \( x^{10} \). The antiderivative of \( x^n \) is given by:
\[
\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C,
\]
where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
Step 2: Apply the antiderivative formula
For \( n = 10 \), the antiderivative becomes:
\[
\int x^{10} \, dx = \frac{x^{10+1}}{10+1} + C = \frac{x^{11}}{11} + C.
\]
Step 3: Write the final answer
The function whose derivative is \( x^{10} \) is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{x^{11}}{11} + C}.
\]
