Task goals

  • Foundation: Anti-differentiate single power terms such as $ax^n$ using the reverse power rule, writing the general antiderivative with $+c$.
  • Proficient: Anti-differentiate polynomial expressions term by term and find the particular antiderivative when given a point that lies on the original curve.
  • Excellence: Apply anti-differentiation within a contextual or rates-of-change problem, including reconstructing a displacement or original function from a given derivative and initial condition, and interpreting the result.
