Definition of Antiderivative

A function F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I if F’(x)=f(x) for all x in I.

Representation of Antiderivatives

If F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I, then G is an antiderivative of f on the interval I if and only if G is of the form G(x)=f(x)+C, for all x in I where C is a constant.

A differential equation in x and y is an equation that involves x, y, and derivatives of y.

Find the general solution of the differential equation y’=2
