Answer

$a)\int f(x)=-6x^{-1}+7x+c$ $b)\frac{d}{dx} \int f(x)dx=6x^{-2}+7$

Work Step by Step

$a) f(x)=6x^{-2}+7$ Using rules of general antiderivative $\int f(x)=\int 6x^{-2} dx+\int 7dx +c$....(splitting the terms) $=\frac{6x^{-2+1}}{-2+1} +7x+c$ $=-6x^{-1}+7x+c$ $b)$ We know that, $\frac{d}{dx} \int f(x)dx=f(x)$ thus, $\frac{d}{dx} \int f(x)dx=6x^{-2}+7$
