Answer

Fill the blanks with: derivative; indefinite integral, indefinite integral; derivative.

Work Step by Step

If $F(x)$ is an antiderivative of $f(x)$, that is $\quad F'(x)=f(x)$, then the indefinite integral of f is $\displaystyle \int f(x)dx=F(x)+C.$ This is not one function -- it is a collection of functions, separated by some constant. These functions have the form: $\quad G(x)=F(x)+C.$ So, taking a derivative of $F(x)+C$ (the indefinite integral), we obtain $f.$ First two blanks: derivative; indefinite integral. But, taking the integral of $f(x)$ (the derivative of $F$), we obtain $F(x)+C.$ Last two blanks: indefinite integral; derivative.
