3/4 x^4 +C34x4+C

Explanation:

When differentiation ax^baxb you multiply the coefficient of the x term by the power and then reduce the power by 1. In this case ab x^(b-1)abxb1.

An antiderivative is the opposite of this to increase the power by 1 and then divide the coefficient by the new power. So for your example, that would be 3/4 x^434x4. However, we do not know if there was a constant when integrating (another name for antiderivative) so we write +C+C

Explanation:

The anti power rule states that:

intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)xndx=xn+1n+1

Therefore, int3x^3dx3x3dx is:

(3x^(3+1))/(3+1)=>(3x^4)/4+C3x3+13+13x44+C
