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.

Before you start, make sure you know: Differentiation rules (1st Bachillerato)
Before you start, make sure you know: Powers with integer exponents (4th ESO)

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.
