Answer

See explanation below.

Work Step by Step

Let $F(x)$ be an antiderivative of $f(x),\qquad F'(x)=f(x)$ By the rule for derivatives of a constant multiple, $[k\cdot F(x)]'=k\cdot F'(x)=k\cdot f(x)$ So, $k\cdot F(x)$ is an antiderivative of $k\cdot f(x)$ We write this as $\displaystyle \int k\cdot f(x)dx=k\cdot F(x) +C$ $=k(F(x)+C_{1})\ \ $, where $C_{1}$is a constant, $C_{1}=\displaystyle \frac{C}{k}$ where we defined $F$ $=k\displaystyle \cdot\int f(x)dx$ The integral of a constant multiple is the constant multiple of the integraI.
