Thank you everyone, for helping me understand this topic. I'm fully confident now. Thank you all. :D If something related to this topic pops up again in my class do I mention it here again or do I start a new thread? What's the best way. I'm new to the forums.

So is it safe for me to assume that no matter what the anti-deriviative looks like as long as I'm able to differentiate it and get the integrand again then I was able successfully able to integrate? Constants are negligible like that -y^2 since it goes away with differentiation.

Alright, yup it does check out that they do indeed yield the same result. It still weirds me out though it feels I'm missing something regarding my original question. What the heck happened to -y^2 after manipulating the expressions and letting it get absorbed into the constant of integration.

Okay, that made things I little more clearer and I can see the point you made, and it makes total sense. Thanks for that. :) However, as DH mentioned with his example won't those two different solutions yield different results if it were a definite integral. You have to admit that those are two...

Still so weird, then what about the definite case... Okay, yes I see that those are legitimate ways of solving that integral, but what irks and has always irk me since calculus 1 is the fact that there is no way that those two solutions are the same. I know, you said that the two...

Constant of Integration Oh, I knew this would come back and bite me and yes I have lost one nights sleep over this lol. Could you for the life of me show me how to manipulate it to become x^2/2 - xy + C1, also is it safe to then assume that if this were a definite integral would...

Hi Everyone, I have a question on u-substitution it's a conceptual one. Let's say I have the integral ∫x-y dx. where y is strictly just some constant, very simple integral. I know the integration for that is simply (x^2)/2 - yx. However, my classmate told me that I could use u-substitution...

Homework Statement I am trying to create a program that will convert big endian to little endian notation and vice versa. I found a way to represent unsigned integers and display their binary value. Can I use this program somehow to accomplish my goals. I am going the right way? Homework...

Okay, Thanks for the help. I got it.

Thanks Lewando, I just finished my Electrical Engineering 210 class and I'm glad that you cleared it up for me before my quiz.You made my day, your explanation made a whole lot of sense. I asked my professor after the class and he said it all depends on the circuit your looking at. So is it...

okay, I didnt know that. Thank you lewando.Your explanation makes sense, but let's say that its just a resistor, the 2ohm, the current would then be 6 amps by ohms law but that's because there is a current coming from that battery. you see my dilemna? please explain further. What happened to...

Homework Statement Given the this circuit calculate the voltage through the 3amp source? attached is a jpeg of the circuit. I wasn't able to get a good score on this one question quiz since this boggled me. Is true if I put current source that it will dictate the current of the battery...
