i’m trying to do #80 for my homework but i got stuck. i tried doing the anti derivative of f” to get f’. i checked the answer key (second picture) and i’m confused....how did she get f’(x) to be that equation and why ??
 
So that is not your work but someone else's that you are asking about?

You should know that the derivative of \(\displaystyle e^x\) is just \(\displaystyle e^x\) again so the anti-derivative of \(\displaystyle e^x\) is \(\displaystyle e^x+ C\). The derivative of \(\displaystyle sin(x)\) is \(\displaystyle cos(x)\) so the anti-derivative of \(\displaystyle cos(x)\) is \(\displaystyle sin(x)+ C'\) and the derivative of \(\displaystyle cos(x)\) is \(\displaystyle -sin(x)\) so the anti-derivative of \(\displaystyle cos(x)\) is \(\displaystyle -sin(x)+ C''\). (C, C', and C'' are constants, not necessarily the same.)
