Immediate integrals
Every differentiation rule you already know gives, when read from right to left, an immediate integral: no trick is needed, you just have to recognise the piece from the table. It is the first step in integrating: the better you master it, the sooner you will spot the more complicated patterns.

From rate of change to total: applications
A market study indicates that the growth rate of followers for a new influencer is given by the function $f(x) = 6x + 10$ (where $x$ is the time in days). Find the…
A market study indicates that the growth rate of followers for a new influencer is given by the function $f(x) = 6x + 10$ (where $x$ is the time in days).
Find the function $F(x)$ that gives the total number of followers, knowing that at the time of launch (day $x=0$) they already had $500$ followers.

In a mobile phone case manufacturing company, the marginal cost (the cost of producing an additional unit) is estimated using the function $C'(x) = 0,6x + 4$.
Obtain the expression for total cost $C(x)$ if it is known that the company's fixed costs (rent, electricity, etc.), which correspond to producing 0 units, amount to $1200$ euros.
