Answer

$\textbf{True}$

Work Step by Step

If F(x) and G(x) are antiderivatives of f(x) then, $$\int f(x)dx = F(x)+C_1$$ and $$\int f(x)dx = G(x)+C_2$$ By these two equations we get, $$F(x)+C_1 = G(x)+C_2$$ or $$F(x) = G(x)+C_2 - C_1$$ $C_1$ and $C_2$ are arbitrary numbers so here it doesn't matter what their actual values are but what matters is the difference. So let, $$C = C_2-C_1 $$ Therefore, $$F(x) = G(x)+C$$
