Instructional Ideas

• Use the video to introduce a unit on antiderivatives
• Challenge viewers to come up with their own derivative-antiderivative pair

Pros

• Includes a succinct explanation of why +C is necessary

Cons

• Might require membership to view the entire video if showing multiple installments back to back
• The video only gives one example
