Symbol: IndefiniteIntegralEqual —

\int f(x) \, dx = g(x) + \mathcal{C}

— Indefinite integral

IndefiniteIntegralEqual(f(x), g(x), x, c), rendered as

\int f(x) \, dx = g(x) + \mathcal{C}, x = c

, expresses that

g(x)

is an antiderivative of

f(x)

at the point

c

, or formally that

g'(c) = f(c)

. In other words,

g(x)

belongs to the equivalence class of antiderivatives of

f(x)

at the point

c

. This is rendered as a statement of equality (with an arbitrary constant of integration) to follow the conventional notation for indefinite integrals.

This operator is ambiguous since the intended meaning could be a real derivative, a complex derivative, or some other form of derivative. It is better to use RealIndefiniteIntegralEqual or ComplexIndefiniteIntegralEqual.

The argument x defines a locally bound variable used in the expressions

f(x)

and

g(x)

. If this operator is called more simply as IndefiniteIntegralEqual(f(x), g(x), x), the meaning is the same as IndefiniteIntegralEqual(f(x), g(x), x, x), where the x appearing in

f(x)

and

g(x)

is understood as a new dummy variable. This dummy variable is evaluated at the value x defined in the surrounding context only after the functions have been constructed.
