$f (x) = 3 x$

Step 1

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 2

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (x) = \int 3 x d x$

Step 3

Since $3$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $3$ out of the integral.

$3 \int x d x$

Step 4

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

$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$

Step 5

Step 5.1

Rewrite $3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{2} + C)$ as $3 (\frac{1}{2}) x^{2} + C$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{2}) x^{2} + C$

Step 5.2

Combine $3$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\frac{3}{2} x^{2} + C$

Step 6

The answer is the antiderivative of the function $f (x) = 3 x$ .

$F (x) =$ $\frac{3}{2} x^{2} + C$
