$5 \cdot 2 x$

Step 1

Write $5 \cdot 2 x$ as a function.

$f (x) = 5 \cdot 2 x$

Step 2

The function $F (x)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (x)$ .

$F (x) = \int f (x) d x$

Step 3

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int 5 \cdot (2 x) d x$

Step 4

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$\int 10 x d x$

Step 5

Since $10$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $10$ out of the integral.

$10 \int x d x$

Step 6

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{2} x^{2}$ .

$10 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$
