Activity 4.4.3.
Use your knowledge of derivatives of basic functions to complete Table 4.4.5 of antiderivatives. For each entry, your task is to find a function \(F\) whose derivative is the given function \(f\text{.}\) When finished, use the FTC and the results in the table to evaluate the three given definite integrals.
