The indefinite integral is simply another name for the antiderivative. Both terms refer to the family of functions whose derivative is the given function, typically expressed with an arbitrary constant $C$.

Conditions: The context is introductory calculus focusing on reverse differentiation.; The function is continuous or differentiable on the interval of interest.

Adding a constant to a function does not change its derivative because the derivative of a constant is zero. When differentiating a sum, the constant term vanishes, leaving the derivative of the original function unchanged.

Conditions: The function is differentiable.; The added term is a constant (e.g., 1, $\pi$, or $C$).
